NBA 2K League Playoffs 2019 Odds: Blazer5 Opens as Huge Favorite Against Warriors
The NBA 2K League Playoffs 2019 are just a day away and one team may be on track to dominate the rest of the field. Blazer5, the official esports squad for the Portland Trail Blazers, will be the biggest favorite to win their opening matchup. Other teams in the NBA 2K League Playoffs are a bit more evenly matched based on what the odds are showing. That said, all eight contenders are looking to be the next to capture that championship trophy.
Blazer5 tops NBA 2K League Playoffs 2019 odds
A number of betting websites or online sports books offer odds for various esports competitions. That includes the NBA 2K League Playoffs 2019, which have all four opening round matchups listed on Pinnacle. The online betting site currently lists Blazer5 as a -500 favorite against Warriors Gaming Squad at +323.
That means a customer who bets $100 on Warriors Gaming would win $323 if they pull off the upset. However, it would take a $500 bet on Blazer5 to win just $100 back, should they take the opening round matchup. So far, the Blazer5 leads all teams for opening round odds, though.
It’s no surprise that Blazer5 has such high odds to win. The team was dominant during the NBA 2K League season with just two losses for their campaign. However, Warriors Gaming is in the playoffs after winning THE TICKET, which put them into the postseason. Despite a losing record for the season, the Warriors certainly have the ability to make a tournament run when it counts.

T-Wolves Gaming (-209) heads into their matchup as the favorite to defeat Kings Guard Gaming (+154). The 76ers GC squad (-163) is the final favorite. Their opponents Pacers Gaming come in as a +122 underdog.
