Game #1 – Western Conference Finals
Matchup Breakdown:
The Oklahoma City Thunder enter the Western Conference Finals after a dominant 125–93 victory over the Denver Nuggets in Game 7. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the way with 35 points, while Jalen Williams added 24 points. The Thunder's aggressive defense forced 23 turnovers, leading to 37 points off those turnovers. Coach Mark Daigneault's tactical adjustments, including a smaller lineup featuring Alex Caruso, disrupted Denver's offense big time.
The Minnesota Timberwolves, making their second consecutive Western Conference Finals appearance, dispatched both the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors in five games each. Anthony Edwards has been the driving force, averaging 27.6 points per game in the playoffs. Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert provide additional scoring and defensive presence, with Gobert anchoring the defense as the reigning Defensive Player of the Year.
The T’Wolves have gotten a good amount of rest. I feel like they should cover this +7.5 but I will dig in more tomorrow.

Thunder are 54-28-0 ATS this season.
