Here is what to know about the NBA title oddsboard:
Can OKC Repeat?: The Thunder won 68 games last season and 64 this season. They have been the No. 1 seed in the West the past three seasons, and the No. 1 overall seed in the playoffs each of the past two seasons. In the regular season, OKC had the fifth-best offense in the league and the second-best defense, beating teams by an average of just over 11 points per game. It was the only team with a double-digit point differential, and only two teams in the NBA beat the Thunder two times or more this season: Minnesota and San Antonio. So, what’s at stake for the Thunder? The last franchise to repeat as champion was the Warriors in 2017 and 2018, and prior to that, the Heat in 2012 and 2013 and the Lakers in 2009 and 2010. However, over the last seven years, there has been a different champion at the end of each season — four teams from the West and three from the East.
Spurs or Bust?: Speaking of San Antonio, it appears that the Spurs are OKC’s greatest challenger. The two teams played five times this season (NBA Cup included), and San Antonio won four of those matchups. Moreover, those four wins came by an average of 11.8 points, and two of them occurred on OKC’s home floor. Will the Spurs play spoiler as the Thunder attempt to go back-to-back? With OKC securing the 1-seed in the West, and San Antonio securing the 2-seed, the earliest the two teams could meet would be in the Western Conference Finals. And, if seeding holds true, the Spurs will likely have to get past Denver in the second round. Those two teams have played four times this season and those four games have been decided by a total of 20 points, with the Nuggets winning three times.
