Opening odds for Thunder vs. Timberwolves Western Conference Finals

Updated:

By: Ciaran Doyle

The Western Conference Finals matchup is set. The #1 seed Oklahoma City Thunder will face off with the #6 seed Minnesota Timberwolves as a spot in the NBA Finals is up for grabs.

The Nuggets took the Thunder to Game 7, but OKC responded with a 32-point win on their home floor.

It should come as no surprise that the Thunder are heavy favorites to win the series on DraftKings Sportsbook. They are -330 favorites, with the Timberwolves +265 underdogs.

Game 1 is slated for Tuesday in Oklahoma City. It’s a short turnaround for the Thunder after winning Game 7 against Denver on Sunday. The Timberwolves should be rested for this one, having last played on May 14th. The Thunder opened as 7.5-point favorites for Game 1, with the total set at 213.5.

In terms of total games in the series, DraftKings Sportsbook has set the over/under at 5.5 total games. It is interesting to note that over 5.5 games is a -150 favorite, while under 5.5 total games is at +125. With these two talented rosters, you would expect this series to at least go to six games.

For the series spread, OKC Thunder +2.5 games (-1600) is the lowest available line. The rest of the available series spread odds are listed below.

Both teams are only one series away from the NBA Finals, and their future champion odds reflect that. The Thunder are odds on favorites at -150 to win it all, and the Timberwolves have the third lowest odds at +550 on DraftKings Sportsbook.
