00:00Around the Western Conference title odds, Oklahoma City, a four-game sweep of the Memphis Grizzlies,

00:05awaiting their opponent for this second round.

00:08By the series' advantages right now, that's going to be the Timberwolves and the Warriors

00:14really trying to figure things out.

00:16That would be the next side of it.

00:17Oklahoma City waiting to see if they play Denver and or the L.A. Clippers.

00:23Game number five back at altitude tonight in a tightly contested set between the Nuggets and the Cliffs.

00:30OKC, a minus 180 favorite.

00:33But DRS, where do you find the value looking at those Western Conference championship odds?

00:38Yeah, it's interesting because I think it still would be between the Denver Nuggets and or the Los Angeles Clippers.

00:43Understand this, where you're looking at this price and saying, man, why are the Warriors 6-1?

00:46Well, the Warriors are probably the favorites here to close out their series quickly and move on,

00:50which means that's why their number is listed there.

00:52When you take a look at the Timberwolves and say, well, Donnie, they have the same 3-1 series lead as the Warriors do.

00:56I don't think the Timberwolves are winning game number five, which means they're at 8-1.

00:59If we all had the Minnesota Timberwolves favorite in game number five, they would probably be a plus 500 already in the odds market.

01:04It's just reacting to what's on the future schedule and how quickly these series can be closed.

01:09But for me, again, I still look at that number on the Denver Nuggets and say home court advantage back on their side.

01:1324-1, I'll take that price.
