Jay-Z is going all in on the Oklahoma City Thunder. The rap icon and business mogul has placed a $1 million wager with Fanatics Sportsbook, betting that OKC will defeat the Indiana Pacers in five games in the NBA Finals. With +230 odds, the Brooklyn native stands to win $3.3 million if his prediction hits.
Jay-Z, who helped launch Fanatics Sportsbook alongside longtime friend Michael Rubin in 2023, is putting major money behind one of the league’s youngest squads. The Thunder enter the series as heavy favorites, opening at -700 to win it all and -10 in Game One.
Known for his sharp business instincts and bold moves, Jay-Z’s bet has added even more buzz ahead of tip-off tonight. If OKC delivers, it’ll be a win for the Thunder and another savvy score for Hov.
