UPDATE 2 P.M. ET SUNDAY: From VegasInsider Senior Reporter Patrick Everson:

There's only one first-round series still in play, pitting the No. 6 seed Golden State Warriors against the No. 3 seed Sacramento Kings. It's knotted at 3, with the deciding Game 7 today.

As such, BetMGM's series odds are now simply the moneyline for Game 7: Kings -120/Warriors even money. Defending NBA champ Golden State opened this series as the -300 chalk to advance, but the favorite has toggled back and forth as the series progressed.

Golden State was a hefty -1000 after taking a 3-2 series lead, storming back from a 2-0 deficit. The Warriors then had a chance to close it out at home in Game 6. But Sacramento rolled to a 118-99 road win to force Game 7.

"We'll be cheering for the Warriors against the Kings. The Kings are losers for us on this series," BetMGM sports trader Halvor Egeland said. "And we'd love the handle that will come with the Warriors-Lakers series."
