Timberwolves vs Thunder Series Odds 3n1v3z
| Team | Bovada Odds | BetOnline Odds |
|---|---|---|
| Timberwolves | +270 | +285 |
| Thunder | -340 | -355 |
Online sportsbooks like the top seeded Thunder to win this series and advance to their first NBA finals since 2012.
However, the Timberwolves’ odds at +285 on BetOnline make them an attractive pick.
The two teams split the regular season series at two games apiece, but Minnesota did not have both Rudy Gobert and Julius Randle in three of those games.
Anthony Edwards struggled against OKC during the season, averaging 22 points per game while shooting just 36% from the field. In his only game with Julius Randle, he scored 20 points and shot 6-12.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander did not struggle against Minnesota, averaging 35 points per game on 51% shooting from the field.
This series is going to come down to who can perform better between Jalen Williams and Julius Randle. Williams averaged 17.6 points per game while shooting 37% from the field in the second round while Julius Randle averaged 25.2 points per game on 53% shooting.
This series could truly go either way, but bettors should lean towards the experience of the veteran Minnesota team over the youthful Thunder.

Pacers vs Knicks Series Odds v4w4z
| Team | Bovada Odds | BetOnline Odds |
|---|---|---|
| Pacers | +135 | +140 |
| Knicks | -160 | -160 |
In a rematch of last year’s conference semifinals, NBA sportsbooks list the Knicks as slight favorites to get their revenge for last season’s series. The Indiana Pacers are +140 underdogs after beating the Knicks in the conference semifinals last season.
Take advantage of this by betting on the Pacers with +140 odds at BetOnline.
Indiana has arguably been the most dominant team throughout these playoffs and has already defeated the top seeded Cleveland Cavaliers, doing so in just five games.
The Knicks were able to defeat the reigning champion Boston Celtics, but there is still serious doubt cast over New York.
They trailed by 20 points in each of the first two games before mounting comebacks in each game and also lost two games by over 20 points, one of those games being without Jayson Tatum.
What makes the Pacers so dangerous is the variety of ways that they can attack offensively with six players averaging double digit points per game so far in these playoffs. They have shot 40.6% from the three point line as a team thus far.
Look for Indiana to take advantage of both Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns on the defensive end. Though New York may have the advantage on the defensive end, they have nowhere near as potent of an offense as the Pacers.
