We’re well aware that our Warriors are considered favorites to repeat as Champions in the betting world, but after the handy defeat of the Blazers, Vegas oddsmakers are giving the Warriors a staggering advantage to move past the Thunder in next round.
In Game one, the Warriors are listed as an 8-point favorite to win at home.

Jeff Sherman of the Westgate Sports SuperBook also has the warriors as 5-1 favorites to win the entire series. For a Thunder team that was so impressive in the second round against the Spurs, this is a massive nod to the Warriors, as well as the importance of the return of Steph Curry.
As for the odds to win it all? The Warriors stack up pretty well in that category as well.
