Then, Nikola Jokic scored 40 on Tuesday night to give Denver a 3-2 lead in that series, and help the Nuggets' odds to win the West move from +145 to -135, and their title odds move from +370 to +240. 

The Wolves, meanwhile, dropped from +800 to win the championship on Tuesday to +1600 on Thursday.

The Mavs also made a move on the West winner oddsboard after their Game 5 win over OKC on Wednesday, leaping from +700 to win the West to +260 on Thursday.
