The Oklahoma City Thunder are heavily favored to win their first NBA championship against the Indiana Pacers, with betting odds placing them at -700. This makes them one of the biggest favorites in recent NBA Finals history. While a Pacers upset is possible, mirroring the 2004 Detroit Pistons' victory over the Lakers, the Thunder's dominance throughout the playoffs suggests a short series, potentially a sweep. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the overwhelming favorite for Finals MVP. Both teams are seeking their first NBA title.
