The Thunder come into the season as reigning champions, having posted a 68-14 record in 2024-2025 to claim their first NBA title. The core is intact with stars Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (SGA), Chet Holmgren & Jalen Williams. Historically, repeating is hard & with the Western Conference continuing to get stronger being champions means you're the target. Can the Thunder repeat last year's success?
