It took the full seven games but the heavily favored #1 OKC Thunder (76- 17, 50-7 home, 35-10 away, 57-33-4 ATS) finally saw off Denver in the West semifinals, setting up a Western Conference final against the #6 Minnesota Timberwolves (57-35, 29-17 home, 28-18 away, 46-45-1 ATS), who breezed through their first two opponents in just five games apiece.
While Minnesota will be the more-rested side, the opening Thunder vs Timberwolves series odds heavily favor OKC advancing to its first NBA finals since 2012.

OKC vs MIN Western Conference Final Schedule
*If necessary.
OKC will host Games 1 and 2 plus 5 and 7 if necessary. Minnesota will host Games 3 and 4, plus 6 if necessary.
The Wolves had more success than most teams against OKC in the regular season, going 2-2 in four contests, splitted a pair of home and road games. Minnesota’s 131-128 OT win at the Paycom Center on Feb. 24 – the most-recent meeting between the teams – was one of just six home setbacks for the Thunder in the regular season. They dropped one more (Game 1 against the Nuggets in the second round of the NBA playoff bracket) in the postseason.

Game 1 Timberwolves vs Thunder Odds
The Game 1 MIN/OKC odds favor the Thunder by a touchdown. On the moneyline, OKC is -290 to win straight-up. Minnesota has opened as a +235 underdog. The game total is just 213.0, which is four points lower than any of their regular-season game totals.
