It’s playoff time in the NBA.

Here’s a look at the NBA title odds at DraftKings Sportsbook as of May 9, now that the postseason is up and running.

2025 NBA Finals Odds

Oklahoma City Thunder: +125 (bet $10 to win $22.50 total)
Boston Celtics: +310 (bet $10 to win $41 total)
Cleveland Cavaliers: +900 (bet $10 to win $100 total)

Golden State Warriors: +3000 (bet $10 to win $310 total)

The postseason has been a bit of a whirlwind so far.

In the West, OKC, the title favorite, obliterated Memphis, sweeping the Grizzlies in the first round. However, even after watching the Nuggets beat the Clippers in seven hard-fought games in Round 1, the Thunder dropped Game 1 of the West semis at home to Denver.

The Lakers entered the postseason favored over the Wolves in their first-round series, but Anthony Edwards & Co. had different ideas, knocking off L.A. in five games.

The Timberwolves then began their second-round series against Golden State on Tuesday, and were upset at home, even after Steph Curry left early with a hamstring injury and did not return.

In the East, things are even wackier.

On Monday, the Knicks won Game 1 of their East semis tilt with Boston, in overtime, on Boston’s home floor.

Then, after taking a 1-0 lead over the top-seeded Cavaliers, the Pacers won once again on Cleveland’s home court on Tuesday, via a late Tyrese Haliburton 3 to win it.
