NBA Eastern Conference winner

Knicks: -175 (bet $10 to win $15.71 total)
Pistons: +290 (bet $10 to win $39 total)
Cavaliers: +500 (bet $10 to win $60 total)

NBA Western Conference winner

Thunder: -260 (bet $10 to win $13.57 total)
Spurs: +270 (bet $10 to win $37 total)
Wolves: +3000 (bet $10 to win $310 total)

Here’s what to know about this oddsboard:

Finals Favorites: The Thunder won it all last season, and they appear to be even better this season, sitting at 8-0 heading into the Western Conference finals, where they will face either the Spurs or Wolves. However, of OKC’s 18 losses during the regular season, five came at the hands of Minnesota (2-2) and San Antonio (3-1, excluding the NBA Cup). As for the East, the New York Knicks are gaining steam, having swept the Sixers in Round 2. N.Y. hasn’t been to the Finals since falling 4-1 to San Antonio at the conclusion of the 1998-99 season.

The Challengers: The Spurs are next in the mix from the West. As previously mentioned, San Antonio and OKC faced off five times this season (once in the NBA Cup), and the Spurs won four of those matchups, including the first three. In terms of the East, after New York, things are up in the air, with the Pistons and Cavs tied at two games apiece. Detroit, after being one of three teams to win 60 games in the regular season and the only East team to accomplish the feat, has not been getting much respect on the oddsboards, including this one.
