Wolves vs. Thunder odds, lines, betting: Oklahoma City opens as biggest Western Conference finals favorite in franchise history

The Denver Nuggets gave the Oklahoma City Thunder all they could handle, but the Thunder prevailed 125-93 in Game 7 on Sunday to advance to the Western Conference finals.

They will face the Minnesota Timberwolves, a team returning to the conference finals for the second straight season after beating the Golden State Warriors in five games in the second round.

Oklahoma City opened as a big -375 favorite in the series at BetMGM, with the Timberwolves coming back as +300 underdogs. The Thunder are the biggest favorites in the conference finals in the franchise's history, even dating back to their Seattle SuperSonics days.

After the Thunder went 55-23-4 against the spread (70.5%) this season — the best regular-season ATS in 35 years — they have struggled against the number in the playoffs, going just 4-7 ATS. The Timberwolves, on the other hand, have been terrific to bettors this postseason, going 8-2 against the number, including two outright wins as underdogs in their first-round series against LeBron James, Luka Dončić and the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Thunder are 7.5-point favorites at BetMGM in Game 1 in Oklahoma City on Tuesday night, with a total of 214.5.
