2021 NBA Free Agency: Odds Changes, List of Transactions

As with every year, the NBA's landscape has changed precipitously in just the first few days of free agency.

The Heat had the splashiest opening day after they signed former All-Star guard Kyle Lowry and defensive stalwart PJ Tucker while also re-upping with restricted free agent Duncan Robinson and All-NBA forward Jimmy Butler.

The Bulls, too, nabbed headlines after acquiring Lonzo Ball in a sign-and-trade and picking up free agent Alex Caruso. Then, the following day, they reportedly acquired DeMar DeRozan in a sign-and-trade with the San Antonio Spurs.

At DraftKings, both teams' odds to win the 2022 NBA Championship shortened considerably. Miami moved from +3500 to +2700 before settling at its current mark at 28/1.

Chicago's line shortened from 100/1 to 80/1 in the aftermath of the Ball and Caruso signings. Then, they. moved down to 60/1 after the DeRozan news.

They were the only two teams at the sportsbook to have their futures odds change.

FanDuel shortened Miami's odds by more than half — the Heat are now 16/1 to win it all after having been as long as 35/1 hours before the start of free agency.

The Bulls saw their odds shorten from 120/1 to 60/1 at the sportsbook before settling at 70/1 as of Wednesday.

Generally, odds shuffled all over the place at FanDuel. The Los Angeles Lakers' odds shortened from +440 to +370; the Milwaukee Bucks' line shortened from +850 to +800; the Golden State Warriors' line shortened from +1300 to +1100; and the Denver Nuggets are now +1700 to win it all after having been +2400.

The only teams at the sportsbook that saw their odds worsen were two Eastern Conference teams: the Philadelphia 76ers (16/1 to 18/1) and Atlanta Hawks (35/1 to 37/1). The Hawks' odds dropped even amid news that Trae Young officially re-signed his five-year maximum extension worth $207 million and that John Collins re-signed at a five-year, $125 million clip.

Most Western Conference contenders such as the Los Angeles Clippers (+1300), Phoenix Suns (+1300) and Dallas Mavericks (+3000) saw their lines stay the same at FanDuel.

We will update this story with odds updates as players continue to be plucked out from free agency.
