Not many bigger locks than Thunder in game 5...

Spread that's 80% but moneyline is 99%.
Great spot after game 4 loss.

Odds dropped big, I still don't believe Spurs win.
Interesting game.

Odds dropped means OKC back court is reduced to SGA and a couple of guys who can't dribble to save their lives. At this point I'd say Mitchell is more important to team success than the max contract Williams. Unfortunately for OKC future holders, both are out today.

Not ideal against that pack of hounds wearing black, white and silver.

NBA may need to help OKC in game 6, else game 7 will be very unlikely the way this is shaping up. Bad injury luck for the current champions. Unless Mitchell comes back in gm6/gm7 and/or Spurs get really injured tonight, there's really not much going for the Thunder.

Excellent spot. Just like Spurs were in an excellent spot in GM3 - except the other team isn't going to let up. OKC coaching staff is incredible, but there's only so many wrinkles they can add when their best scorer and their second best ball handler are out of rotation. This can fly against the Memphis Grizzlies in the regular season, or even against Suns and Lakers in the playoffs - but not against a real defense, organized by equally skilled coaching staff, and playing like they're all getting traded to Utah Jazz if they lose this series.

The defensive intensity of the Spurs has to REALLY drop off, compared to game 4, for the Thunder to have a realistic chance to win this game 5. We'll see it early in the 1Q I think. I'd much rather bet Spurs +120 after they are up 12-5 and playing like they mean it, than +150 now because they could look like a different group without home crowd (or whatever).

Spurs getting destroyed.

Not even a chance.
Like Spurs would ever win, that means they would win the series. Ain't happening.

The thunder winning the NBA title at the beginning of the season was around 6/4 that was not really good odds, but they are gonna win it.
