Victor Wembanyama is already described as an alien. There’s constant speculation about how great he could eventually become and whether he’ll one day sit among the best players the league has ever seen.

What happened last night won’t slow those conversations down.

Wemby and the Spurs went into OKC, the home of the reigning NBA champions and the home of two-time MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and won a Game 7 in one of the toughest environments in basketball.

San Antonio takes the series in seven and now heads to the NBA Finals to face the New York Knicks in a rematch of the 1999 Finals.

This Western Conference Finals delivered everything the NBA could have hoped for, and as always, we’ll be working to surface edges for the Finals.

Last Night’s Featured bets delivered with 2 hits and 1 loss.

Chet Holmgren was the miss.

For OKC to have a chance in this series, they needed Chet to be aggressive and willing to take on Wemby offensively. That was the thinking behind this line.

Instead, Holmgren struggled again. He finished with just 2 points on 1-2 shooting in a Game 7. At home. Can’t argue that the criticism he’s gotten is well deserved.

Luke Kornet did deliver for us. We needed 3 rebounds and he finished with 4, while also making one of the biggest defensive plays of the night with a huge block on Isaiah Hartenstein.

And finally, De’Aaron Fox cashed his line as well. We needed 15 points from him and that’s exactly what we got. Fox shot 50% from the field and helped lead the Spurs to the NBA Finals.

Spurs vs Knicks. Again.

27 years after Tim Duncan’s first title, San Antonio returns to the Finals with another potential all-time great leading the way.

The NBA Finals are set, and somehow the league gets a rematch 27 years in the making.

Back in 1999, a young Tim Duncan led the Spurs past the Knicks to win the first championship of his career and begin one of the greatest dynasties the NBA has ever seen.

Now San Antonio returns to the Finals against New York with another generational talent leading the way.

Victor Wembanyama is already being talked about as the next great player in Spurs history. After going into OKC and winning a Game 7 against the defending champions, those conversations are only going to grow louder.

As always, we’ll be tracking the series closely and surfacing model-driven edges, matchup trends, and prop angles throughout the Finals.
