So far this year, that number is 14.4.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" use-external-image=\"false\" data-v-b1ca39d9=\"\">They sit atop the West with a league-best 12-1 record, with their lone defeat coming in a game where they blew a 20-point lead against the Blazers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" use-external-image=\"false\" data-v-b1ca39d9=\"\">Jalen Williams, who is either the second- or third-best player for the Thunder, has yet to play this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" use-external-image=\"false\" data-v-b1ca39d9=\"\">The Thunder are +205 favorites to repeat as NBA champions, but is there a bet to be made with more bang for your buck?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" use-external-image=\"false\" data-v-b1ca39d9=\"\">This page may contain affiliate links to legal sports betting partners.

Not only are the Thunder loaded with talent, and not only have they gone 80-15 in the regular season since the start of the 2024 season, they\u2019re young and deep.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" use-external-image=\"false\" data-v-b1ca39d9=\"\">The counter most people have when discussing the Thunder\u2019s ability to break this record is about whether they even care to do so, while also questioning if the team decides to rest guys later in the season. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" use-external-image=\"false\" data-v-b1ca39d9=\"\">That remains to be seen, but OKC is so talent-rich that even if it does rest a few key players here and there, it won\u2019t crush its chance to win on any given night.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" use-external-image=\"false\" data-v-b1ca39d9=\"\">Also, the Denver Nuggets (9-2) are not quite as good as the Thunder but appear to be a worthy challenger in the West. The Nuggets might win enough games where the Thunder can\u2019t take their foot off the gas in the race for No. 1 seed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" use-external-image=\"false\" data-v-b1ca39d9=\"\">OKC was historically good last year and won a championship. Somehow, it looks even better. At 18-1 odds, breaking the all-time record is a bet you\u2019ll be happy you made as the season unfolds.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" use-external-image=\"false\" data-v-b1ca39d9=\"\">PICK: Thunder +1800 to win 74+ games<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" use-external-image=\"false\" data-v-b1ca39d9=\"\">Will Hill, a contributor on the Bear Bets Podcast, has been betting on sports for over a decade.
