The NBA Finals matchup is not set yet, but we know that the Oklahoma City Thunder will be big favorites regardless of their opponent.
Oklahoma City was the favorite to win the West all season long, and they have gone on a wild run throughout the playoffs.
The Thunder are an insane 80-18 between the regular season and postseason, which is approaching the legendary records of the 1995-96 Bulls (87-13) and the 2015-16 Warriors (88-14).

Use the bet365 promo code NYPBET to snag a bonus on the Knicks vs. Pacers Game 6 on Saturday night.
The Thunder will be projected as -500 favorites regardless of their Finals opponent.
While this will likely change by the time the matchup is confirmed, the Thunder were projected as -525 favorites against the Knicks and -600 favorites against the Pacers, a sportsbook operator previously told The Post.
That means if the Pacers close out the Knicks in Game 6, they would face the Thunder and a $600 bet on the Thunder to win the title would net just $100 in profit.

What our Post expert thinks about the NBA Finals
The Knicks would probably profile as a better, more exciting matchup than the Pacers would be for Oklahoma City.
Coach Tom Thibodeau is excellent at maximizing talent and creating defensive schemes that can give opponents fits.
The Knicks also have a better starting five than the Pacers, featuring two All-NBA players this season.
