The Oklahoma City Thunder (-135) remain the odds-on favorite to win the 2025 NBA Championship even after dropping Game 6 at Denver on Thursday night.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (+115) remains the favorite for NBA Finals MVP but Anthony Edwards (+625) and Jalen Brunson (+625) have pulled even for the next-shortest odds with Tyrese Haliburton (+825) and Nikola Jokic (+1000) not too far behind them.
