After signing LeBron to a team-friendly two-year, $8 million deal, the Philadelphia 76ers are now the betting favorite in the Eastern Conference to win the 2027 championship at Kalshi. They passed the reigning NBA champion New York Knicks, who are the second-betting favorite (+1240) out East as of 2 p.m. Now, Philadelphia's starting five includes LeBron, Brown, 2022-23 NBA MVP Joel Embiid, two-time All-Star guard Tyrese Maxey, and SG V.J. Philadelphia needs Embiid healthy and playing at 70% of his MVP-self to justify being the betting favorite in the East. That said, Philly should be second to New York as the betting favorite to win the East.
