Best-of-three, Spurs hold homecourt

The case for each contender

What each team has working for them — and the obstacle they have to clear to lift the trophy.

Oklahoma City
Thunder
44.5%
to win it all
Tied 2-2 vs Spurs

History is the only thing standing between OKC and a repeat. Game 1 stumble at home flipped homecourt to San Antonio — but the Thunder have been here before.

  • Reigning champions, 8-0 start to the playoffs
  • MVP-caliber SGA chasing back-to-back Finals MVP
  • Elite two-way defense anchored by Holmgren & Hartenstein

New York
Knicks
30.5%
to win it all
Won 4-0 vs Cavaliers

The drought watch is real — no NBA title in New York since 1973. New York swept Cleveland to punch their Finals ticket, and now waits on the West.

  • First Finals appearance since 1999 — locked in
  • Two-way star duo controlling tempo on both ends
  • Best East rebounding margin in the playoffs

San Antonio
Spurs
25.0%
to win it all
Tied 2-2 vs Thunder

Nobody expected the rebuild to arrive this fast. The Spurs are one of the great storybook runs in modern NBA history — and they have the size to bother anyone.

  • Wembanyama altering everything at the rim
  • Stole Game 1 in Oklahoma City — homecourt swung
  • Fox & Castle give the youngest contender real backcourt punch
