San Antonio dominated the regular season series, winning four of the five matchups against Oklahoma City, but the postseason brings an entirely different level of pressure. The defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder return home as 6.5-point favorites looking to prove playoff experience matters more than regular-season results.
Newly crowned back-to-back MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Defensive Player of the Year Victor Wembanyama both look to make a statement in Game 1 and set the tone early.
Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the New York Knicks and Cleveland Cavaliers tips off Tuesday, another massive series featuring two teams chasing an NBA Finals appearance.

WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS
No. 2 SAN ANTONIO (+210) vs. No. 1 OKLAHOMA CITY (-260)
- Spread: Thunder -6.5
- Moneyline: Thunder -245, Spurs +200
- O/U: 220.5
What to know: It’s a dream conference finals in the Western Conference. The Thunder won 64 games in the regular season, while the Spurs put up 62 wins. And guess what? Three of those 62 wins came against OKC, and there was a fourth in the NBA Cup. So if there is any team in the league that could stop the Thunder from going back to back, it’s San Antonio. The scary part about both of these teams is their depth. Consider this: San Antonio’s best player, Victor Wembanyama, led the Spurs in scoring just twice in six games in the second round, while OKC’s best player, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, led his team in scoring just once in four games in the second round.

EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS
No. 4 CLEVELAND (+215) vs. No. 3 NEW YORK (-265)
GAME 1 — CLE @ NY (May 19)
- Spread: Knicks -7.5
- Moneyline: Knicks -265, Cavs +215
- O/U: 216.5
What to know: The Cavs are undefeated in Game 7s this postseason, but their second Game 7 win was much more impressive — a road victory over the top seed in the Eastern Conference, the Detroit Pistons. And it wasn’t just a victory — it was a 125-94 beatdown. Now, Cleveland gets a well-rested Knicks team in the conference finals. During the regular season, New York beat the Cavs twice, and the Cavs got one win off the Knicks, but neither team beat the other on the road. However, Cleveland has already played 14 games in the postseason, while the Knicks have played just 10. Will rest — or lack thereof — play a factor in this one?
Cleveland Cavaliers – Top Player Stats
- Donovan Mitchell: 25.6 PPG, 5.2 RPG, 3.3 APG
- James Harden: 20.1 PPG, 5.2 RPG, 6.2 APG
