The Clippers are among the favorites to win the NBA championship this season, according to gambling website Bovada.

The Clippers are listed at 10-1 odds to win their first championship in franchise history, trailing only Cleveland (5-2), San Antonio (4-1), Chicago (11-2) and Oklahoma City (11-2).

The Clippers, who boast a strong trio in Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan, have never reached the Western Conference finals. Last season, they were eliminated from the playoffs in the second round by the Thunder.
