Spurs vs. Thunder “Series Result” Futures Betting Markets
It’s hard to see the Thunder losing a series considering how dominant they’ve been so far, but at -250 odds, we don’t love the moneyline there. And the Spurs have a great mix of offense and defense, and inside and outside talent. They’re not going to be swept or pushed aside the way the Suns and Lakers were. OKC will win this series, but they’ll face their first speed bumps (yes, multiple) of this postseason.
Best Bet: Series Total Games Over 5.5 (-140)
Spurs vs. Thunder “Series Correct Score” Futures Betting Market
As we said above, the Thunder are going to win this series, so the question here is how many games it’s going to take. They’re definitely not going to sweep the Spurs, we feel pretty certain of that. Wemby will have at least one explosion to carry San Antonio to a win.
And that three-headed monster at guard should be able to surprise the Thunder for another win. We think this will be a long series, and it so happens that 4-2 is offering the second-best odds as well.
Best Bet: OKC Thunder To Win Series 4-2 (+450)

The assist race really seems to be of the three-horse variety. SGA is the favorite, but we think he’s going to start to try to take over with his scoring a little bit more here in the Conference Finals. De’Aaron Fox is offering a lot more value, but Stephon Castle feels like the best bang for your buck here at +250 odds. He averaged over six assists per game last round, and he had 6+ dimes in three of his last four contests.
Three-pointers are another somewhat wide open race here. Julian Champagnie is a surprising favorite, and we’re actually buying the hype very much. Champagnie has averaged 2.5 triples per game during this postseason, and the next-best in that category in this series is Jalen Williams at 2.0 triples. And he’s played only two games.
The Thunder hit a ton of threes, but they really share the wealth where that is concerned. Champagnie has hit 2+ triples in nine of 10 playoff games during this run, so we’re backing him here at +250 odds.
Best Bet:
- Stephon Castle Most Assists (+250)
- Julian Champagnie Most Three-Pointers (+250)
