New York — Sportsbooks opened wagering for the 2025-26 NBA season on Oct. 16, and the Oklahoma City Thunder debuted with a win total that industry analysts are calling historic.
The over/under posted for Oklahoma City is the highest preseason figure attached to the franchise and one of the loftiest on record across the league, according to oddsmakers cited by the New York Post. The benchmark sets expectations well above the Thunder’s previous preseason projections.
The aggressive total follows last year’s surge in which the Thunder exceeded projections and secured a deep playoff run. Sportsbooks responded by elevating their outlook for head coach Mark Daigneault’s roster, which continues to feature All-NBA guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and reigning Defensive Player of the Year Chet Holmgren.
While early action typically adjusts win totals, bookmakers noted strong public interest in backing Oklahoma City at the historic number. Final regular-season projections will continue to fluctuate as bettors weigh training-camp developments and potential roster moves.
