Who are the favourites for the 2024 NBA Championship with a month to go?

We are just under a month away from the NBA season tipping off, with the Los Angeles Lakers taking on the Denver Nuggets in the first matchup on October 25^th.

Most teams have completed their business ready for the start of the season, with some rosters built ready for an NBA Championship.

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers have added even more pieces to the team that got to the Western Conference Finals last season and look ready to go one step further this season.

Jaxson Hayes, Taureen Prince, and Christian Wood add more depth in the forward positions and give James and Anthony Davis less of the load so they can perform at the highest level come playoff time. This could be James' last legit chance to win his fifth NBA ring.

Phoenix already had a team that was good enough to win the chip this season, but with the addition of all-star guard Bradley Beal, sharpshooter Yuta Watanabe, and guard Grayson Allen, it seems they have added some depth to their Hall of Fame talent.

Guard Devin Booker only seems to be getting better, and with Kevin Durant taking the toughest defensive player, Booker, Beal, and Jusuf Nurkic will be freed up to score at will. The important thing for The Suns is keeping everyone fit.

The reigning champion Denver Nuggets have got to be odds-on favorites to win the championship this season, with two-time MVP Nikola Jokic and the rest of his well-oiled machine ready to repeat.

The Nuggets lost a couple of players from their title squad last season, but no team found an answer for Jokic and Jamal Murray. The same could be said this year.

The Boston Celtics have been knocking on the door over the last three years, and with the addition of Kristaps Porzingis at the center position, The Celtics look to be covered in every facet of the game.

Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have earned super max contracts, and the pressure is now on them to take The Celtics to the next level. Senior pros like Al Horford are still in the ranks, giving this team a perfect blend as the start of the season fast approaches.

The Milwaukee Bucks shocked the NBA on Wednesday night as they acquired seven-time NBA All-Star Damian Lillard to partner up with Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The trade brings a new superstar pairing into the NBA, and with all-star Khris Middleton on the roster, The Bucks now boost their odds of becoming champions again, as they did in 2021.

Although their chances of bringing a championship back are slim due to the competition in the West, you can never right off the Golden State Warriors with Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and now Chris Paul in their ranks.

The Warriors were shown the door by The Lakers in last season's playoffs, but with the addition of 'Point God' Chris Paul, Klay Thompson and Steph Curry should be facilitated perfectly on the offensive end. If it works, Golden State is a threat to the chip.

With the new additions to the best team's rosters and the storylines set up ahead of the new season, this year could be one of the best yet in the NBA.

With a stacked Western Conference and newly formed deadly duos in the East, who can predict who will win the 2024 NBA Championship?
