Does Howard improve Hawks' title odds? Nope

With Durant, and 5-to-6 odds, the Warriors are heavy favorites to win the title next season.

Reigning champion Cleveland follows with 15-to-4 odds. Top five favorites are rounded out by San Antonio (9/1), Boston (18/1) and the Los Angeles Clippers (25/1).

Two teams improved their odds this offseason. The Bulls added Wade and their odds improved from 80-to-1 to 40-to-1. The 76ers, who had the worst record in the league, boosted their odds to win the championship from 500-to-1 odds to 250-to-1.

While the lost Horford to free agency, the team added All-Star center Howard and retained guard Kent Bazemore. Vegas didn't see these are improvements and moed the Hawks' odd to claim their first NBA title from 35-to-1 odds to a pedestrian 50-to-1 odds.
