NBA Finals Predictions: Our Picks

Who Will Win the NBA Finals?

The Spurs are the most likely champion, but the Knicks at +1200 are the best bet on the board. That’s our NBA Finals prediction for now, and we’ll revisit it as the season unfolds.

Favorite: San Antonio Spurs +325

The Spurs deserve to be favorites. Victor Wembanyama has already dragged this team to an NBA Finals, and the core around him is a year older and a year better. They’re also favorites for the NBA Cup, so the books see them as the best team in the league right now.

But +325 means you need the Spurs to win the title nearly one time in four just to break even. That’s a lot to ask of a team that won one game in last June’s Finals. We think they’re the most likely champion, but the price doesn’t leave much room.

Value pick: New York Knicks +1200

This is the number that jumps off the board. The Knicks beat the Spurs 4-1 in the Finals in June, and five months later the market makes them fifth favorites at 12-1, behind a 76ers team that didn’t come close.

Part of that is history. Nobody has won back-to-back titles since the Warriors in 2017 and 2018, so the books are wary of champions. Part of it is a sluggish start, including a Cup loss to the 76ers. But November form tells you very little about June. A team that knows how to win four rounds is worth a lot more than 12-1.

Worth a look: Oklahoma City Thunder +550

The Thunder won the 2025 title and are still the best-built roster in the West outside San Antonio. If you want a contender at a better price than the Spurs, this is it.

Eastern Conference and Western Conference Favorites

The title market shows clearly how the books see each conference.

West: The Spurs (+325) and Thunder (+550) are well clear, with the Rockets and Timberwolves (both +1600) next. The Lakers (+2200), Nuggets (+2800) and Warriors (+3300) are the established names playing catch-up.

East: It’s much more open. The 76ers (+800), Celtics (+1100) and Knicks (+1200) are separated by very little, and the Raptors (+2000) and Pistons (+2500) aren’t far behind. That’s why the East favorites are worth watching. One good trade or one injury elsewhere could easily change who’s in front.

What Moves the NBA Finals Odds

NBA championship odds move all season, and not always for good reasons. A five-game win streak can knock a team’s price in half, and a bad week on a national TV schedule can double it. The market reacts to headlines faster than it reacts to what actually wins in the playoffs.

The things that really move the board:

• Injuries to stars. Nothing shifts title odds faster. A long absence for a team’s best player can push them out of the top five overnight.
• The trade deadline in February. Contenders buy and pretenders sell, and the odds follow straight away.
• Seeding and home court. By April, the market is pricing the path through the bracket as much as the team itself.
• The NBA Cup. A Cup run in December gets a lot of attention, but it has a mixed record as a guide to June.

We update this page as the odds move, so check back to see who’s rising and who’s falling.

NBA Cup Odds vs NBA Championship Odds

Compare the title market with the NBA Cup odds and you can see which teams the books rate for November and which they rate for June:

Team	Cup	Title
Spurs	+325	+325
Celtics	+350	+1100
Pistons	+1000	+2500
Cavaliers	+1400	+4000
76ers	+2500	+800

The Celtics, Pistons and Cavaliers are much shorter for the Cup than the title, while the 76ers are the opposite: a team the books trust far more over seven-game series than in a four-game group.

NBA Finals Winners: Every Champion Since 2017

Eight different teams have won the last eight NBA titles, which tells you how hard the favorite is to back in this market.

Year	Champion	Beat
2026	New York Knicks	Spurs (4-1)
2025	Oklahoma City Thunder	Pacers (4-3)
2024	Boston Celtics	Mavericks (4-1)
2023	Denver Nuggets	Heat (4-1)
2022	Golden State Warriors	Celtics (4-2)
2021	Milwaukee Bucks	Suns (4-2)
2020	Los Angeles Lakers	Heat (4-2)
2019	Toronto Raptors	Warriors (4-2)
2018	Golden State Warriors	Cavaliers (4-0)
2017	Golden State Warriors	Cavaliers (4-1)

The best time to bet a long shot is early, before a hot run shortens the price. The best time to bet a favorite is often after a bad stretch, when the market has overreacted and the price drifts. Either way, futures money is tied up until June, so pick prices that are worth the wait.
