Overview
- The Thunder are 21-1 with 13 straight wins and now sit as roughly +125 favorites to win the NBA title, with -125 to take the West.
- Books price a chase at historic totals, listing +100 for 70 or more wins and +550 for 74+, which would break the single‑season record.
- Oklahoma City leads key metrics, including the NBA’s best net rating (about +15) and top defensive efficiency while allowing the fewest points per game.
- Shai Gilgeous‑Alexander is driving the surge at about 32.5 points per game on 54.5% shooting with 88.7% from the line.
- The run has come largely without Jalen Williams, and OKC joins just three other teams ever to start 21-1, a reminder that elite regular seasons don’t guarantee June outcomes.
