The best of the West are going head-to-head.
Starting Monday, May 18, NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder take on Victor Wembanyama’s San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference Finals.
Fans hoping to get in on the action to what pundits are calling “the real NBA Finals” can still grab last-minute tickets for all seven potential Thunder and Spurs home games.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on tickets at OKC’s Paycom Center was $192 including fees on SeatGeek.
Prices start at $309 including fees at San Antonio’s Frost Bank Center.
Ahead of this pressure-cooker series, the Thunder steamrolled past the Suns and Lakers in the first two rounds of the postseason, sweeping both clubs. Their closest game was when they won by a mere five points against LA to clinch the Semifinals.
As for San Antonio, they bruised their way past the Blazers and Timberwolves to advance to their first post-Popovich Western Conference Finals since 2017 when they got swept by the Warriors.
Oddly enough, they may have the upper hand this time around.
Over the course of the 2025-26 regular season, Mitch Johnson’s Spurs won four of their five meetings against Mark Daigneault’s Thunder.
“We know what they’re capable of,” Daigneault said. “It’s an opponent that is incredibly worthy. We’re going to need to be our best to beat and we understand that.”
Still, oddsmakers are giving OKC the edge.
“Despite their success in the regular season against the defending champs, the Spurs are heavy +210 underdogs to upset the Thunder, who are -260 to get back to the NBA Finals at DraftKings Sportsbook,” The Post reported.
That being said, reporter Dylan Svoboda did note “this series has the makings of a much tighter battle than the odds suggest.”
Don’t miss this one live. You just might witness hardwood history.
