The Oklahoma City Thunder’s 21-1 opening surge has pushed the franchise to the top of betting boards, making it a historic favorite to win the 2026 NBA Finals.
Sportsbooks on Wednesday listed Oklahoma City with the shortest championship odds in the league, a status rarely given to any team this early in the season. The Thunder’s blistering pace also places the club on track to challenge the NBA’s single-season victories record.
With more than three-quarters of the regular season still ahead, oddsmakers noted that Oklahoma City’s combination of early wins and statistical dominance has separated it from the rest of the field.
