The New York Knicks have secured their position in the conference finals, becoming the third team to do so, after they defeated the Boston Celtics last Friday. The Minnesota Timberwolves are currently the third favorites to take the NBA Championship, with odds standing at +460 according to FanDuel Sportsbook.

The Timberwolves now have their highest chance of winning the championship this season, with their odds at +460. They are still waiting to see who they will face in the conference finals, but their chances of winning the championship have improved to 17.9%.
FanDuel Sportsbook has also set potential future odds for the Western Conference finals involving either of Minnesota’s possible opponents. If facing the Thunder, Oklahoma City is favored at -350, while Minnesota stands as the +280 underdog. Against the Nuggets, Minnesota would be the -136 favorite, with Denver at +116.
The upcoming games against either Oklahoma City or Denver will likely be more challenging for Minnesota than New York’s match against Indiana, as reflected in the odds. While Minnesota would likely be favored in a potential matchup against the Knicks, reaching that stage presents a tougher challenge.
Also Noteworthy: Mike Breen describes Timberwolves fans as ‘absolutely crazy’
This scenario isn’t new for the Timberwolves, as they were the favorites in last year’s Western Conference Finals against the Mavericks and had the second-best odds to win the championship prior to that series.
Minnesota will find out their opponent for the Western Conference Finals after the decisive Game 7 between the Thunder and Nuggets, which is scheduled to start at 2:30 p.m. CT this Sunday.
