The San Antonio Spurs open as favorites to win the 2026 NBA Finals against the New York Knicks, according to betting markets. The line moved from an initial -220 after San Antonio's Game 7 victory in the Western Conference finals before settling at the current number.

Both teams drew heavy support in futures markets throughout the season. The Spurs began the 2025-26 campaign at 65-1 to win the championship, which would mark the largest preseason underdog to claim the title in at least 40 seasons if successful.

Wembanyama is the clear favorite to win Finals MVP at -185.

Jalen Brunson leads New York options at +210, followed by Karl-Anthony Towns at 20-1. Additional players at 100-1 or shorter include OG Anunoby at 40-1, Stephon Castle at 50-1, and De'Aaron Fox at 100-1. Odds are provided by DraftKings Sportsbook and are current as of publication.
