Thunder Pacing All Teams
First off, NBA fans and bettors will see a team either win their first title in franchise history or the Knicks win their first title in over 50 years. The Thunder currently pace all teams with the shortest odds on NBA betting sites and have sat their all season long. They have the best record in the league and finished the year as a top-4 offense and top-3 defense.
Another note to keep in mind that could potentially work against them is that OKC guard, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, is expected to win the NBA MVP. Over the last 25 years, the reigning MVP has won the NBA Finals in the same season just five times.
Tied for the second shortest odds are the Minnesota Timberwolves and New York Knicks. The Timberwolves are currently priced as a +270 underdog to win the Western Conference Finals against the Thunder, while the Knicks have -160 odds to win the ECF and advance to the finals.
Sitting in the worst position on the odds board are the Indiana Pacers, who have +135 odds to beat the Knicks in the ECF.
