The NBA Finals are approaching quickly. As of May 29th, let’s review the latest NBA championship odds from DraftKings Sportsbook.
Here are the 2025 NBA Finals odds:
– Oklahoma City Thunder: -750 (wager $10 to win $11.33)
– Indiana Pacers: +600 (wager $10 to win $70)
– New York Knicks: +2800 (wager $10 to win $290)
The Thunder have demonstrated why they were the best team during the regular season. They swept Memphis in the first round, overcame Denver in a seven-game series, and defeated Minnesota in five games, showing they can decisively dominate or win close contests. This marks the Thunder’s first NBA Finals appearance since 2012, when they lost to the Miami Heat led by LeBron James and Dwyane Wade.
On the Eastern side, Indiana advanced by beating Milwaukee and top-seeded Cleveland in five-game series. In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Pacers currently lead the Knicks 3-1, with Game 5 scheduled in New York on Thursday. DraftKings currently favors the Thunder at -750 to win the NBA Finals, while the Pacers stand at +500. Notably, Indiana has never won an NBA championship, and New York’s last title came in 1973, with their last Finals appearance in 1999.
Fan Take: This matchup highlights the rising intensity in the NBA, with Oklahoma City asserting dominance and the Eastern Conference shaking up expectations. For basketball fans, it promises thrilling competition and could mark the start of a new era of NBA greats.
