While the Oklahoma City Thunder took a 3-2 lead in the Western Conference Finals against the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday, sportsbooks have already begun looking ahead to the NBA Finals where the New York Knicks await.
Both FanDuel Sportsbook and DraftKings Sportsbook have jumped the gun on the NBA odds, though neither rules out the Spurs still winning the West.
NBA Finals look-ahead series odds| Matchup | Knicks | Opponent |
|---|---|---|
| Knicks vs Thunder | +215 | -265 |
| Knicks vs Spurs | +185 | -225 |
Odds via DraftKings as of 5-27.
Regardless of who wins the West, the New York Knicks will be hefty underdogs. DraftKings sets series odds at +215 for New York to win against Oklahoma City Thunder (-265) and +185 against the San Antonio Spurs (-225).
Potential NBA Finals spreads| Matchup | Game 1 Spread |
|---|---|
| Knicks at Thunder | Knicks +6.5 -110 |
| Knicks at Spurs | Knicks +4.5 -110 |
Odds as of 5-27.
Given the Western Conference winner will have homecourt advantage, it should not be too much of a surprise that lookahead spreads favor the home teams handily, as well, -6.5 for the Thunder and -4.5 for the Spurs at FanDuel.
NBA Finals series total games| Matchup | Over | Under |
|---|---|---|
| Knicks at Thunder | Over 5.5 -155 | Over 5.5 -155 |
| Knicks at Spurs | Over 5.5 -165 | Under 5.5 +130 |
Odds via DraftKings as of 5-27.
All that said, do not expect a rollover of a Finals. In both matchups, DraftKings sets the series length Over/Under at 5.5 with the Over heavily juiced, suggesting at least two New York wins in its first appearance in the NBA Finals since last century.
