Day 1 of NBA Free Agency was won by the Miami Heat, who improved from + 3500 to + 2500 to win the NBA Title after signing Kyle Lowry. Day 2 of Free Agency went to the Chicago Bulls.
After already signing Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso, the Bulls stayed aggressive yesterday and added DeMar Derozan in a sign-and-trade with the San Antonio Spurs. The Bulls sent Thaddeus Young, Al-Farouq Aminu, a future 1st round pick and two second round picks to the Spurs. DeRozan, 31, averaged 21.6 PPG last season for San Antonio. The Bulls now possess a formidable starting lineup featuring Ball, DeRozan, Zach Lavine, Nikola Vucevic and either Patrick Williams or Lauri Markkanen. Chicago will also have Coby White and Caruso off the bench. Not too bad. In the process, Chicago has moved from 100-1 to 60-1 to win the NBA Title at DraftKings.

The Indianapolis Colts entered this offseason with a loaded roster and high expectations. But over the past week, Indianapolis has been hit with a string of back breaks. First, Head Coach Frank Reich tested positive for COVID. Then a pair of foot injuries knocked out quarterback Carson Wentz and star lineman Quenton Nelson for the next 5-12 weeks. Following the news, the Colts saw their win total shift from 9.5 (over -150) to 9 (under -130). The Colts moved from a + 100 favorite to win the AFC South to now a + 190 dog. In Week 1, the Colts have moved from -3 to + 3 against the Seahawks. The biggest beneficiary of the Colts misfortune is likely the Tennessee Titans, who are entering Year 4 under Head Coach Mike Vrabel. So far, Vrabel has gone 9-7, 9-7 and then 11-5 last season, his best yet. This year's win total was originally set at 9 with the over juiced to -140, signaling another successful campaign. Following the Wentz news, the Titans' win total is now 9 juiced over at -160. If Titans action continues to pour in, this number might tick up to 9.5, which means you may want to jump on it quick before the value evaporates. Tennessee has shifted from a + 110 dog to win the division to now a -130 favorite. The Titans boast the most continuity and talent on offense of any team in the division, led by quarterback Ryan Tanehill, running back Derrick Henry and wide receivers A.J. Brown and Julio Jones. Tennessee can also feast on the Jaguars (6.5 win total) and Texans (4 win total). Unless the Colts can coax Philip Rivers out of retirement and back under center, this looks to be the Titans' division to win.
