Thunder to Secure NBA Finals Spot

Oklahoma and Minnesota go head-to-head at Paycom Center in the fifth game of their Conference finals series. Thunder are just one win away from sealing a spot in the NBA Finals.

Oklahoma raced into a 2-0 lead, but a 143-103 Timberwolves win at Target Center in game three made things interesting. However, Mark Daigneault’s troops reestablished their advantage with an impressive triumph in Minneapolis on Monday.

Thunder have had a season to remember, finishing top of the Western Conference before playoff wins against Memphis Grizzlies and Denver Nuggets. They have been tipped by many to go all the way this year.

Minnesota will be desperate to keep their playoff dreams alive. Chris Finch’s men have done superbly well to get this far, but their season could come to an end in Oklahoma City on Wednesday.

Thunder are a tough nut to crack on their own patch, and we are backing the hosts to win by a margin at Paycom Center. Take a punt on Daigneault’s Oklahoma to win -9.5 at 2.06.

Vital Victory for Knicks at MSG

The next playoff meeting between New York and Indiana will take place on Thursday at Madison Square Garden. With Pacers holding a 3-1 lead in the series, this is a must-win game for Knicks.

Indiana won the opening two games in the Garden to take control of the series. New York pulled one back in Indianapolis, but Pacers restored their advantage with a 130-121 victory at Gainbridge Fieldhouse last time out.

Knicks need to win to keep their NBA Finals hopes alive, and the home team are the slight favourites at 1.47. An away victory will take Indiana through, and Pacers are priced at 2.60 to come out on top in the Big Apple.

In the regular season, New York finished third in the Eastern Conference table, one place ahead of Indiana. On paper, there is not much to split the pair, and this will no doubt be another tight and tense playoff game at MSG.

New York are desperate to prolong their season, and Tom Thibodeau’s boys could nick this huge playoff fixture on home ground. Check out the tempting betting odds of 2.70 for the New York win and over 221.5 points to be scored.
