Playoff futures: Odds improving for Timberwolves as champs, Edwards as Finals MVP

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. The team with the next shortest odds has changed, however, as the Minnesota Timberwolves (+475) have leapfrogged the New York Knicks (+500) in the past 24 hours.

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.

A full list of MVP candidate odds can be found below the list of every team's odds to win their current series, the conference and the Finals.
