Jay-Z makes $1M bet on Thunder-Pacers NBA Finals series

Jay-Z is in an Oklahoma City state of mind.

The billionaire rapper and producer bet $1 million to win $2.3 million on the Thunder to win the NBA Finals in five games over the Indiana Pacers.

Jay-Z placed the bet at Fanatics Sportsbook, which doesn’t operate in Nevada, at +230 odds, the book posted Thursday on X (@FanaticsBook).

Oklahoma City is a consensus 9½-point home favorite over Indiana in Game 1 of the Finals on Thursday and is a -750 series favorite.

The Thunder to win in five games is the favorite in the exact series result, followed by Oklahoma City in a four-game sweep (3-1) and the Thunder in six (4-1).
