thunder-nuggets-2025-26-nba-odds
The Oklahoma City Thunder remain the top pick to win the 2025-26 NBA championship, opening the week at +160 to repeat, according to DraftKings Sportsbook.
Oklahoma City’s position at the front of the futures market follows a 17-1 start in which its lone loss was a two-point setback against Portland. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s club has not dropped another contest heading into Monday, Dec. 1.
The Denver Nuggets are next on the board at +550. Denver sits 14-5 but will play the next four to six weeks without forward Aaron Gordon, who is sidelined by a hamstring injury.
Eastern Conference outlook
The Cleveland Cavaliers carry the shortest championship odds from the East at 11-1. The New York Knicks follow at 16-1, while the Detroit Pistons—riding a 13-game winning streak—stand at 25-1.
MVP race
Nikola Jokic is the slight favorite for Most Valuable Player at +145, narrowly ahead of Gilgeous-Alexander at +160. Luka Doncic rounds out the leading trio at +325.
