The Oklahoma City Thunder head into the playoffs as the odds-on favorites to get back to the Finals and trail only the Miami Heat in their chances to win it all. Sports book Bovada has released an updated list of odds for each team in the playoffs, which you can see in this table:
| Team | Current Odds | Preseason Odds |
| Heat | 2/3 | 11/5 |
| Thunder | 17/4 | 9/2 |
| Spurs | 10/1 | 18/1 |
| Knicks | 16/1 | 35/1 |
| Nuggets | 25/1 | 66/1 |
| Pacers | 25/1 | 35/1 |
| Clippers | 25/1 | 25/1 |
| Lakers | 40/1 | 5/2 |
| Grizzlies | 40/1 | 35/1 |
| Bulls | 60/1 | 14/1 |
| Nets | 60/1 | 30/1 |
| Celtics | 66/1 | 18/1 |
| Warriors | 100/1 | 125/1 |
| Rockets | 100/1 | 75/1 |
| Hawks | 150/1 | 75/1 |
| Bucks | 500/1 | 125/1 |
The Heat, following a remarkable season and a remarkable player, are of course the easy favorites, but the Thunder's odds have improved slightly. The most precipitous drop is obviously the Lakers, but even then the oddsmakers are still showing them some love. If I had to wager and could not pick the Thunder, I'd probably take the Nuggets, who have just enough of a quirky game that I could see them moving through the playoffs and giving the Heat trouble in the Finals.
