The largest sports betting site on the Internet, PinnacleSports listed the Nuggets in the middle of the pack odds-wise to win the NBA Championship prior to the trade because of the highly competitive Western Conference and lack of a solid second scoring option to go with Carmelo Anthony. Now boasting the league's two leading scorers on their roster, the Nuggets have become a formidable team in the West and PinnacleSports now lists Denver at 18/1 to win the title. The San Antonio Spurs remain favorites to emerge as NBA champs at 9/2, followed closely by the Phoenix Suns at 5/1 and Dallas Mavericks at 11/2.
'By adding Iverson, Denver may have found 'The Answer' to their scoring woes during Carmelo Anthony's suspension, as well as a key to advance through the Western Conference playoffs,' said Simon Noble of PinnacleSports. 'Whenever a player of Iverson's caliber is traded to a contender, the odds accurately reflect the impact on the team's chances to win a championship. In this case, Denver closed the gap on the top teams in the West and went from being a lower seed with a scarce shot at the title to a potential division and conference champion.'
