Both teams were well supported in the championship futures markets this season, with Caesars Sportsbook telling ESPN’s David Purdum that each is a liability in the future book. The Spurs opened the 2025-26 season as 65-1 underdogs to win the title, which would make them the largest preseason underdogs to win the NBA Finals in at least 40 seasons if they were to follow through, according to data from SportsOddsHistory.com.
Jalen Brunson is the odds-on favorite to win Finals MVP at -115, but OG Anunoby’s heroics on Wednesday night pushed him into the award conversation at +210 odds.
