The Thunder had a breakthrough 2023-24 season, winning 57 games and securing the top seed in the Western Conference, becoming the youngest team in history to do so. Led by MVP finalist Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who averaged 30.1 points and 6.2 assists, OKC made major strides with improvements from Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren, who finally debuted after an injury-delayed rookie season. Head coach Mark Daigneault’s leadership earned him Coach of the Year honors as the team exceeded expectations.
This offseason, the Thunder continued to build by adding Isaiah Hartenstein, the biggest free agent acquisition in franchise history, to shore up their interior defense and rebounding. They also traded for Alex Caruso, a defensive guard with an improving shooting range, at the cost of Josh Giddey, who fell out of favor. With their strong young core intact and these veteran additions, GM Sam Presti has positioned Oklahoma City for long-term success without dipping into their deep stash of future draft capital.
Holmgren will have the luxury of playing more freely with Hartenstein providing muscle down low. His shooting range and defensive instincts make him a potential All-Star this season. With Gilgeous-Alexander continuing to develop as one of the league’s top-five talents, and the team boasting depth at every position, OKC is poised to be a top contender for the Finals.
The Thunder’s +370 odds for most regular-season wins and +340 odds to win the Western Conference on DraftKings Sportsbook reflect the high expectations for this emerging powerhouse. The question remains: Can this young, talented roster reach the NBA Finals, or will they fall short once again? With no visible weaknesses and continued improvement from their stars, the Thunder are set to challenge the best in the league.
