俄克拉荷马城雷霆全赛季都被看好夺得NBA总冠军，但随着竞争对手陷入苦战或被淘汰，看起来越来越不太可能有人能阻挡他们了。
雷霆在本赛季季后赛中顺风顺水，现在已成为夺冠头号热门。目前，雷霆夺得NBA总冠军的赔率为负赔（-165）。
圣安东尼奥马刺在周三看起来像是雷霆的强力挑战者，但雷霆依然是明显的夺冠热门。
周四，雷霆将力争季后赛六连胜。另一支1号种子底特律活塞则旨在对阵克利夫兰时取得2-0的领先。
随着每场比赛结果导致的赔率变化，本报道将在整个第二轮期间持续更新。
东部联盟
1号种子底特律活塞 对阵 4号种子克利夫兰骑士
活塞系列赛1-0领先
第2场： 东部时间周四晚7点
系列赛赔率： 活塞 -210，骑士 +175
底特律活塞 (Detroit Pistons) 在首轮打得十分艰苦，现实点说，他们本该被淘汰。在客场面临淘汰边缘时，他们一度在下半场落后24分。然而，他们挺了过来，并正在利用这次“重生”的机会。
底特律在首节就取得了16分的领先，并顶住了克利夫兰骑士 (Cleveland Cavaliers) 在比赛末段的反扑，以111-101赢下首战。突然之间，活塞看起来找回了1号种子的风采。
詹姆斯·哈登 (James Harden) 三分球7投1中，多诺万·米切尔 (Donovan Mitchell) 抱怨自己只得到了两次罚球机会，但至少他的球鞋看起来非常酷。
凯德·坎宁安 (Cade Cunningham) 不需要为底特律大包大揽，他在手感不佳的夜晚（19投6中）得到了23分。活塞凭借更均衡的表现赢得了比赛。
在系列赛开始时，底特律被看好的程度仅比抛硬币选边略高一点。现在，赔率上已经有了一些喘息的空间，但竞争依然激烈。
3号种子纽约尼克斯 对阵 7号种子费城76人
尼克斯系列赛2-0领先
第3场： 东部时间周五晚7点
系列赛赔率： 尼克斯 -1000，76人 +650
好吧，费城这次至少把比分咬得很紧。在季后赛连续四场大胜之后，纽约尼克斯 (New York Knicks) 终于受到了考验。不过，纽约还是笑到了最后，目前以2-0的总比分完全掌控了系列赛。
第二场比赛直到最后一分钟才分出胜负，两队领先优势均未超过7分，但即便如此，费城76人 (Philadelphia 76ers) 在最后三分钟内也未能将分差缩小到3分以内。
周三比赛的一大焦点是乔尔·恩比德 (Joel Embiid) 的缺阵。伤病再次让这位费城球星无法出战。在一场仅由6分决胜的比赛中，他本可以成为那个改变局势的人。在恩比德缺席的情况下，76人有四名球员出场时间超过了40分钟。
系列赛将移师费城进行两场比赛，但现在76人必须在接下来的五场比赛中赢下四场，而且恩比德的伤病再次成为了难题。
西部联盟
1号种子俄克拉荷马城雷霆 对阵 4号种子洛杉矶湖人
雷霆系列赛1-0领先
第2场： 东部时间周四晚9:30
系列赛赔率： 雷霆 -3000，湖人 +1200
雷霆现在的表现甚至显得有些乏味。洛杉矶湖人 (Los Angeles Lakers) 在周二的第一场比赛中以7-0开局，但随后俄克拉荷马城雷霆 (Oklahoma City Thunder) 在首节末段打出9-2的攻势取得5分领先，此后便再未落后。最终，雷霆以18分的大优势获胜。
当季后赛中其他所有球队都曾在系列赛中落后过时，俄克拉荷马城还未尝败绩。
勒布朗·詹姆斯 (LeBron James) 依然是那个勒布朗（17投12中得到27分），但他没有得到太多帮助。奥斯汀·里夫斯 (Austin Reaves) 全场16投3中，马库斯·斯马特 (Marcus Smart) 15投4中。
雷霆赢得游刃有余，而谢伊·吉尔杰斯-亚历山大 (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander) 甚至还没进入状态（得到18分并有7次失误）。这太可怕了。
湖人需要卢卡·东契奇 (Luka Dončić) 回归，而且要快。不幸的是，对于洛杉矶及其球迷来说，这位超级巨星看起来不太可能在本系列赛中回归。
随着凯尔特人和掘金出局，以及马刺先丢一局，在周二的比赛结束后，雷霆蝉联冠军的赔率为-165，是绝对的大热门。
2号种子圣安东尼奥马刺 对阵 6号种子明尼苏达森林狼
系列赛战至1-1平
第3场： 东部时间周三晚9:30
系列赛赔率： 马刺 -300，森林狼 +245
如果说第一场比赛是对圣安东尼奥马刺 (San Antonio Spurs) 的警告，那么第二场比赛应该会让明尼苏达森林狼 (Minnesota Timberwolves) 拉响各种警报。马刺以38分的惊人优势大胜，扳平了系列赛。
面对一支尚未恢复完全实力的6号种子球队，圣安东尼奥展现出了60胜球队的风采。安东尼·爱德华兹 (Anthony Edwards) 在伤愈复出的第二场比赛中仅出场24分钟，不过如果明尼苏达不是在下半场开局就早早缴械，他的出场时间本会更多。阿约·多孙穆 (Ayo Dosunmu) 因小腿伤势缺席两场后复出，但他在10分钟内4投0中。
维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 在这场比赛中没有送出12次盖帽（他有2次），但他拿到了两双（19分15个篮板），而且马刺几乎每一名角色球员在比赛中都有过一段手感火热的表现。
这场比赛悬殊程度的最佳缩影是，两队没有任何一名球员出场时间超过30分钟。任何重要的主力球员都在比赛早期就被换下休息了。
即使在主场输掉首战后，马刺仍被看好能赢得系列赛。在以一场摧枯拉朽的大胜击败明尼苏达并扳平比分后，马刺的赔率飙升至-300，成为了绝对的热门。

2026 NBA playoffs second-round odds: Thunder are now minus-odds title favorites
The Oklahoma City Thunder have been favored to win the NBA title all season, but as contenders struggle or get eliminated, it’s starting to look less and less likely that someone will take them down.
The Thunder have had no trouble this postseason and are now favored against the field. OKC now has minus odds (-165) to win the NBA title.
The San Antonio Spurs looked like legitimate challengers to the Thunder on Wednesday, but the Thunder are still the clear favorites.
On Thursday, the Thunder will go for a sixth straight win in this postseason. The other No. 1 seed, the Detroit Pistons, aim for a 2-0 lead against Cleveland.
This story will be updated throughout the second round as the odds change with the results for every game.
Eastern Conference
No. 1 Detroit Pistons vs. No. 4 Cleveland Cavaliers
Pistons lead series 1-0
Game 2: 7 p.m. ET, Thursday
Series odds: Pistons -210, Cavaliers +175
The Pistons labored in the first round and realistically should be eliminated. They trailed by 24 in the second half on the road while facing elimination. Yet, here they are, and they are taking advantage of this second life.
Detroit raced out to a 16-point lead after a quarter and withstood a late Cleveland charge to take Game 1 111-101. Suddenly, the Pistons look like a No. 1 seed.
James Harden was 1-for-7 from the 3-point line, and Donovan Mitchell is complaining about only drawing two free throws, but at least his sneakers look very cool.
Cade Cunningham didn’t have to do everything for Detroit, scoring 23 points on an off shooting night (6-for-19). A more balanced Pistons performance resulted in a win.
Detroit was favored by barely better than a coin flip at the start of the series. Now, there’s some breathing room in the odds, but it’s still tight.
No. 3 New York Knicks vs. No. 7 Philadelphia 76ers
Knicks lead series 2-0
Game 3: 7 p.m. ET, Friday
Series odds: Knicks -1000, 76ers +650
Well, at least Philadelphia kept it close this time. After four straight blowout wins in the playoffs, the Knicks were finally tested. New York still prevailed, though, and now is in full command of the series with a 2-0 lead.
Game 2 went down to the final minute, and neither team held a lead greater than seven points, but even then, the 76ers weren’t within three points in the final three minutes.
The big storyline from Wednesday’s game was the absence of Joel Embiid. Injuries once again kept the Philly star out of action. In a game decided by just six points, he could’ve been a difference maker. The 76ers had four players play at least 40 minutes in his absence.
The series shifts to Philadelphia for a pair of games, but now the 76ers have to win four out of five, and Embiid’s injuries are again a problem.
Western Conference
No. 1 Oklahoma City Thunder vs. No. 4 Los Angeles Lakers
Thunder lead series 1-0
Game 2: 9:30 p.m. ET, Thursday
Series odds: Thunder -3000, Lakers +1200
The Thunder are almost boring at this point. The Lakers raced out to a 7-0 lead in Game 1 on Tuesday, but then Oklahoma City closed the first quarter on a 9-2 run to take a five-point lead and never trailed again. By the end, OKC won by 18.
While every other team in the playoffs has trailed in a series, Oklahoma City hasn’t lost a game yet.
LeBron James was LeBron James (27 points on 12-for-17 shooting), but he didn’t get much help. Austin Reaves was 3-for-16 from the field, and Marcus Smart was 4-for-15.
The Thunder comfortably won, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had an off night (18 points and seven turnovers). Scary.
The Lakers need Luka Dončić back, and fast. Sadly for Los Angeles and its fans, it looks like the superstar is unlikely to return this series.
With the Celtics and Nuggets out and the Spurs down a game, the Thunder are minus odds favorites to repeat (-165) after Tuesday’s games.
No. 2 San Antonio Spurs vs. No. 6 Minnesota Timberwolves
Series tied 1-1
Game 3: 9:30 p.m. ET, Wednesday
Series odds: Spurs -300, Timberwolves +245
If Game 1 was a warning for the Spurs, Game 2 should be causing all kinds of alarm bells for the Timberwolves. The Spurs won by a ridiculous 38 points to even the series.
San Antonio looked like a 60-win team against a No. 6 seed still not quite at full strength. Anthony Edwards played only 24 minutes in his second game back from injury, although that number would have been higher had Minnesota not already lost the game early in the second half. Ayo Dosunmu came back from a calf injury that kept him out of the last two games, although he was 0-for-4 from the field in 10 minutes.
Victor Wembanyama didn’t have 12 blocks in this game (he had two), but he did have a double-double (19 points, 15 rebounds), and almost every Spurs role player had one hot streak in the game.
The best encapsulation of how lopsided this game was is that no player on either team even played 30 minutes. Anyone important enough to rest got rested early in this one.
The Spurs were favored to win the series even after dropping Game 1 at home. After evening the series with a demolition of Minnesota, the Spurs jumped to strong favorites at -300.
