The NBA Finals are set, with the heavily favored Oklahoma City Thunder matched up against the longshot Indiana Pacers. Game 1 is set for Thursday, June 5 in Oklahoma City, with the Thunder getting -700 odds and the Pacers at +500 to win the NBA championship.

Oklahoma City swept the Memphis Grizzlies in Round 1, dodged an upset bid by the Denver Nuggets in seven games in the Western Conference semifinals and made easy work of the Minnesota Timberwolves in a five-game series conference finals.

The Pacers entered the playoffs as a 4-seed and have lost only four games in the first three series, beating the Milwaukee Bucks in five games, then knocking off No. 1 seed Cleveland Cavaliers in five games before dispatching the New York Knicks in six games in the Eastern Conference finals.

In the Finals MVP race, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (-550) is the favorite by a wide margin, with Tyrese Haliburton (+700) having the second-shortest odds.
