Oklahoma City Thunder 2025-26 NBA Betting Lines
Could a dynasty be emerging in Oklahoma City, OK? It certainly seems possible. With the duo of general manager Sam Presti and superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Oklahoma City Thunder has been transformed into one of the elite franchises in professional sports. Oklahoma City dominated the 2024-25 NBA season with the best record in the league. OKC has undergone a remarkable transformation into an impressive rebuild that began during the 2020-21 season. Most important of all from a wagering perspective is that the Thunder made gamblers quite happy with a large profit margin. Under the leadership of head coach Mark Daigneault, the Thunder is a full-court team that controls both ends of the floor. This summer, Presti worked more of his magic by working one of the most productive regular seasons in any sport. Thus, OKC opens as the favorite to win the 2026 NBA Finals and repeat.

Off-Season Moves for 2025-26
Key additions: Thomas Sorber
Key subtractions: Dillon Jones
The Thunder, who won 68 games and the NBA championship this past season, needed to do very little in order to remain the favorite to repeat, and they did, only adding a first-round pick, Thomas Sorber.
They did, however, secure their existing core, giving max extensions to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, and Chet Holmgren. That will carry some financial issues in the years to come, though it is not something they need to worry about this season, when they remain the league's best team on paper.
The defending champs return every player who saw at least 50 minutes of action during the 2025 playoffs, so the real work for the Thunder front office was securing long-term extensions for stars Gilgeous-Alexander, Holmgren, and Williams. The supermax deal for Gilgeous-Alexander and max deals for Holmgren and Williams will force tough choices for Oklahoma City. Still, the Thunder did well to sign Holmgren to a deal locked in at 25% of the 2026-27 cap and avoid giving Williams a player option on his extension.
Key Players
PG Shai Gilgeous is a 3-time NBA All-Star, including this past season. Alexander averaged 23.7 or more points per game in the past three seasons. This season, he averaged 32.7 points and 6.4 assists per game. Alexander was the 11th overall pick of the 2018 NBA Draft by the Charlotte Hornets out of Kentucky.
In 2024-25, F Jalen Williams averaged 21.6 points per game. Williams was the 12th overall pick of the 2022 NBA Draft out of Santa Clara by Oklahoma City. He was a 2025 NBA All-Star. He is coming off the best season of his 3-year NBA career.
Head Coach
Mark Daigneault has been the head coach since the 2020 season after serving as an assistant from 2016 through 2020. He was a former assistant and is a disciple of the legendary former Thunder coach, Billy Donovan. Daigneault has a career regular-season record of 211-189. He has led Oklahoma City to the playoffs the past two seasons.

Oklahoma City Thunder History
Since their relocation to Oklahoma City from Seattle in 2008, the Thunder have consistently been a playoff team. They made the NBA Finals in just their fourth season in Oklahoma, and they made the playoffs in 10 of their first 12 years in their new home.
Whereas most teams that moved from one destination didn’t leave much behind, this franchise left a lot in the rearview mirror, as the Seattle SuperSonics were beloved and had achieved a decent amount of success. The SuperSonics were founded in 1967 and made it to the NBA Finals in 1978 and 1979. In seven games, they lost their first finals appearance to the Washington Bullets, but they won the rematch the following year to claim their first NBA championship.
Seattle was a perennial contender in the 1990s with Shawn Kemp and Gary Payton. The Rain Man and The Glove only made it to the NBA Finals once, but they won 55 games or more for six straight seasons.
Clay Bennett led a consortium that bought the franchise in 2006. Bennett and his group had seen that basketball could work in Oklahoma City after the New Orleans Hornets played in OKC for two years following Hurricane Katrina. The Thunder had two superstars to build around after taking Kevin Durant as No. 2 overall in the 2007 NBA Draft and Russell Westbrook as No. 4 in the 2008 NBA Draft.
Oklahoma City was a title contender for a half-decade with Durant and Westbrook. Still, the Thunder gave us one of the biggest What If scenarios in the modern-day NBA after they traded James Harden to the Houston Rockets after the 2012 season. Harden established himself as a future Hall of Famer in Houston, and that move was part of why Durant wanted out of OKC.
