• See the latest NBA title odds for the four remaining teams

It’s safe to say that few NBA playoff brackets had this quartet comprising the final four. Only one of the top-four teams survived the first two rounds, the NBA-best OKC Thunder, who will face the #6 Minnesota Timberwolves in the West final. In the East, the #3 New York Knicks will have home-court advantage over the #4 Indiana Pacers, who eliminated the Knicks in similar circumstances a year ago.

The updated NBA championship odds now that we’re officially down to four teams are as follows.

Updated NBA Championship Odds

Every sportsbook has the teams ranked the same order – OKC, NYK, MIN, IND – though there are some variations in price. Most notably, Indiana is as short as +600 at DraftKings and as long as +750 at BetMGM.

Whichever of the four teams eventually wins, a long drought is going to end for one fanbase. The Knicks’ last NBA championship came in 1973. The Thunder haven’t won since moving from Seattle in 2008. (The SuperSonics lone championship came in 1979.) The Pacers haven’t won since joining the NBA in 1976 (though they won three ABA titles from 1969-1971). And the Timberwolves have never even reached the NBA finals since their inception in 1989, though the powerhouse Minneapolis Lakers won five titles from 1949 to 1954 before moving to Los Angeles.
