The remaining ones are kings! The Thunder s odds are the first to win the championship and the second championship in 58 years

On May 14, as the Thunder reversed the Nuggets 112-105 in the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, the total score was ahead 3-2, and the odds for winning the championship were further lowered (the more they were optimistic about winning the championship, the smaller the odds), and continued to be the most optimistic about winning the championship this season. Since the playoffs, all the Thunder have been healthy and they have a strong lineup depth. With many favorites to win the championship being trapped and injured, either out, or on the verge of being eliminated, the Thunder became the number one favorite to win the championship.

On the current odds list, the Thunder ranks first with -130 (bet $130, hitting $230 with a hit), the Knicks +500 (bet $100, hitting $600 with a hit), the Timberwolves +550 ranked third, the Pacers +600 ranked fourth, the Celtics +2200 ranked fifth, the Nuggets +2500 ranked sixth, and the Warriors +10000 ranked seventh. From the current odds to win the championship, it can be seen that the Thunder is already very optimistic about winning the championship. In the battle of Tianwang Mountain, the Nuggets once led by Jokic and entered the final quarter with an advantage of 8 points. But the Thunder played 34-19 in the final quarter and completed the reversal. Nuggets Michael Porter Jr. was trapped and injured in a shoulder. He was in a sluggish state again, making 1 of 7 shots and 0 of 5 three-pointers, scoring only 2 points.

The matchup between experts, a subtle mistake may lead to failure, not to mention that Porter Jr. is one of the important firepower points of the Nuggets. The Thunder once again showed their lineup depth advantage. In this game, 10 players were rotated, all five starting points were scored in double digits, Caruso scored 13 points on the bench, and the bench players scored a total of 22 points. The Nuggets only played three substitutes, with a bench score of 10 points.

Jokic fought for 44 minutes in this battle, scoring 44 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals. He fought like an ancient beast, but still failed to win the game. The situation of the Thunder's promotion is very good. They have already won the match point and can advance to the Western Conference Finals as long as they win another game.

If the Nuggets want to turn the tables, they must count on Porter Jr. to break out. However, Porter has scored single digits in four games in the Western Conference semi-finals, and has only performed well in the third game, contributing 21 points and 9 rebounds and 5 of 6 three-pointers. In this round of the series, Porter Jr. averaged only 7.2 points per game, shooting 28.6% from the field and 25.9% from the three-point shooting percentage.

Among the other remaining teams, the Timberwolves lead the Warriors 3-1, and they have great hope of advancing while Curry won't play in the fifth game. However, the Timberwolves core Edwards is not 100% healthy. He suffered an ankle injury in the Western Conference semi-finals G2, but he has been fighting with injuries. The team in the Eastern Conference, the Cavaliers, the number one in the Eastern Conference in the regular season, have been eliminated, and the defending champion Celtics lost Tatum again and are 1-3 behind the Knicks on the verge of being eliminated. The overall strength of the Pacers and the Knicks is still inferior to the Thunder. The healthy Thunder ushered in a great opportunity to win the championship.

Too many stars fell down in the playoffs this year. Grizzlies core Morant suffered a hip contusion in G3 in the first round. The Warriors' Jimmy Butler suffered a deep muscle contusion in the pelvic and hip in the first round of G3, and Curry even injured his left hamstring in G1 in the Western Conference semi-finals. Bucks guard Lillard suffered a serious injury in the first round of the left Achilles tendon.

Lakers star James suffered a second-degree sprain in the medial collateral ligament of the left knee in the first round G5. The Knights were even wounded, with Garland, Mobley and Hunter fighting with injuries, and Mitchell sprained his ankle in the end. Timberwolves' Edwards suffered an ankle injury and Nuggets' Michael Porter Jr. suffered a shoulder injury. There is also Celtic Tatum suffered a ruptured right Achilles tendon in the fourth game of the Eastern Conference semifinals. You can say Thunder has good luck, but that's part of their strength. Their lineup is indeed very deep. There are many experts around Alexander, and his teammates can give him a lot of support. The third young master of Thunder failed to win the championship, but now Alexander leads the Thunder Youth Army to move towards the championship. Of course, they cannot take it lightly until everything is finalized.

The Thunder's 58-year team history only won once in the 1978-79 season, and now they are targeting the second championship in the team history.
