DENVER—After the Denver Nuggets have received the devastating news that Jamal Murray will miss the remainder of the NBA season with a torn ACL, bettors should be thinking about the different Denver Nuggets odds as they have been affected by his injury as well.
More specifically, bettors should be concerned with both the Denver Nuggets NBA odds to win the NBA Finals as well as Nikola Jokic’s odds to win the NBA MVP.
Denver Nuggets NBA Championship Odds
Starting with how the Nuggets odds have shifted to win the NBA Finals, they have seen a dip back as they were listed down at +1300 odds before Murray suffered his torn ACL and have dropped way down to +2500 on online sportsbooks.
2021 NBA Finals Odds To Win
- Brooklyn Nets +225
- Los Angeles Lakers +325
- Los Angeles Clippers +550

- Philadelphia 76ers +1200
- Phoenix Suns +1400

This was expected as Murray was a crucial part of the success that the Nuggets were having this season being that he averaged 21.2 ppg, 4.8 apg, and 4 rpg.
Not to take anything away from the Nuggets at all as they still have different players on their team that could step up in his absence such as Nikola Jokic, Michael Porter Jr., and newly acquired Aaron Gordon.

If there is any good to come out of Jamal Murray being ruled out for the remainder of the season, it is that Nikola Jokic will be able to make a strong case for the NBA MVP. Not to mention, immediately after the injury, Jokic saw his odds shoot up to the favorite at -185 odds after being listed at +180.

The Nuggets will play next on Wednesday, April 14 against the Miami Heat at 10:00 p.m. EST and will be broadcasted on both Bally Sports Sun and NBA League Pass.
