The Oklahoma City Thunder enter the Western Conference Finals as the clear market favorite to claim the conference title, driven by their undefeated 8-0 postseason run that includes sweeps of the Suns and Lakers, along with the league's best regular-season record at 64-18 and top-ranked defense. San Antonio Spurs hold the second-highest implied probability after advancing past the Timberwolves in six games, buoyed by their 62-20 campaign, Victor Wembanyama's two-way impact, and a young core featuring Stephon Castle, yet they face a notable experience gap against a Thunder squad that has dominated with depth and physicality. Home-court advantage for Oklahoma City in the series opener on May 18 further tilts trader sentiment, as recent form and schedule positioning highlight the Thunder's edge in a matchup of the West's top two teams.
