NBA playoffs odds, lines, betting: Oklahoma City Thunder one win away from NBA Finals
The 2025 NBA playoffs are in full swing, and the conference finals are underway. The Oklahoma City Thunder (-375) are now the prohibitive title favorites at BetMGM, followed by the Indiana Pacers (+550), New York Knicks (10-1) and Minnesota Timberwolves (40-1). The Thunder responded to a Game 3 blowout by making several big shots down the stretch in a 128-126 Game 4 win over the Wolves to take a 3-1 series lead. In the East, the Knicks entered as -155 series favorites, which is only the second time in the past 50 years that the franchise has been favored in a conference finals series. The Pacers, however, won both games at Madison Square Garden to take a 2-0 series lead, before the Knicks held on to win Game 3. Whereas public betting may waver at times during the NBA season because of all the injuries and load management, the playoffs are a big betting event, Thomas Gable, sportsbook director at the Borgata in Atlantic City — a BetMGM book — told Yahoo Sports. "From a betting perspective, the handle is very good," Gable said. "The NBA suffers from the way that they handle the day-to-day season with players resting, and I think a lot of the recreational players have phased out of the NBA because of that. But the playoffs are a totally different story." Here are the updated series prices for the 2025 NBA playoffs from BetMGM: No. 4 Indiana Pacers (-210) vs. No. 3 New York Knicks (+170) Indiana up 2-1 No. 6 Minnesota Timberwolves (+1800) vs. No. 1 Oklahoma City Thunder (-5000) Oklahoma City up 3-1 Eastern Conference No. 4 Indiana Pacers (-325) vs. No. 1 Cleveland Cavaliers (+260) Indiana wins 4-1 No. 3 New York Knicks (-275) vs. No. 2 Boston Celtics (+225) New York up 3-2 Western Conference No. 4 Denver Nuggets (+240) vs. No. 1 Oklahoma City Thunder (-325) Oklahoma City wins 4-3 No. 7 Golden State Warriors (+1600) vs. No. 6 Minnesota Timberwolves (-5000) Minnesota wins 4-1 Eastern Conference No. 8 Miami Heat (12-1) vs. No. 1 Cleveland Cavaliers (-2500) Cleveland wins 4-0 No. 7 Orlando Magic (16-1) vs. No. 2 Boston Celtics (-5000) Boston wins 4-1 No. 6 Detroit Pistons (+325) vs. No. 3 New York Knicks (-425) New York wins 4-2 No. 5 Milwaukee Bucks (+165) vs. No. 4 Indiana Pacers (-200) Indiana wins 4-1 Western Conference No. 8 Memphis Grizzlies (10-1) vs. No. 1 Oklahoma City Thunder (-2000) Oklahoma City wins 4-0 No. 7 Golden State Warriors (-165) vs. No. 2 Houston Rockets (+140) Golden State wins 4-3 No. 6 Minnesota Timberwolves (+165) vs. No. 3 Los Angeles Lakers (-200) Minnesota wins 4-1 No. 5 Los Angeles Clippers (-115) vs. No. 4 Denver Nuggets (-105) Denver wins 4-3
