The Oklahoma City Thunder are fresh off a Game 2 win at home to put themselves in the driver's seat of the Western Conference Finals. A team that has been the betting favorite to win the NBA finals since early on in the season is finally on the cusp of accomplishing that feat.
OKC now leads 2-0 in the series against Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves. Many predicted that the series would end in OKC's favor, however, nobody is expecting a sweep. Well, FanDuel has provided a betting special where you can wager on the Thunder sweeping both the Western Conference Finals, as well as the NBA Finals this June.
The Thunder would face either the Indiana Pacers or the New York Knicks, and Game 2 of that ECF series is on Friday night.
Right now, the special odds are at +1200 for the Thunder to win out for the rest of the season. Can they go a perfect 6-0 and hoist the trophy? It is certainly possible.
OKC is also -340 to win the NBA Finals. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is -320 to win NBA Finals MVP and already a stunning -1900 to win Western Conference Finals MVP.
At the rate that OKC plays, it doesn't seem like anyone can keep up. The Pacers play quickly, but their defense isn't up to the Thunder's standard. The Timberwolves have already shown that they struggle to score against the OKC defense. Minnesota scored 88 points in Game 1 and then 103 in Game 2. The Thunder have dominated the series, and it doesn't seem like that will change. The Timberwolves may win games at home, but the Thunder will find a way to advance.
The Thunder and Timberwolves will meet for Game 3 in Minnesota on Saturday night at 8:30 ET. If the Wolves want to keep their season alive, they have no choice but to win.
