Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander believes there is "a good chance" the Thunder and Spurs will be an incredible rivalry in the NBA.

The Spurs' upset of the Thunder in the NBA Cup has put Victor Wembanyama's squad back into the top of the NBA power rankings.

Kevin O’Connor is joined by Blake Griffin to break down the impact of Wemby in the Spurs’ victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA Cup semifinals. Did the Spurs find the formula for stopping OKC?

With a current BetMGM win total over/under at 69.5 wins (-140 over/+115 under), Oklahoma City is currently favored to become the third 70-win team in NBA history. The -140 odds for “over 69.5” imply a more than 58 percent chance of getting there.

Oklahoma City outscored the Suns by 10 or more points in every quarter and at one point extended its lead to 53. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren combined for 52 as the Thunder ultimately won by 49, 138-89. With the victory, Oklahoma City extended its streak to 16 games, but also tied a historic record.

Behind the Thunder are Nikola Jokic 's Denver Nuggets at +600. The Nuggets have started 17-6 but continue to be without Aaron Gordon (hamstring), who is not expected to return before Christmas. Houston has the next shortest odds at 10-1.

On Nov. 5, the Thunder rocked up to the Moda Center in Portland for the second night of a back-to-back with travel. The night before, Oklahoma City had defeated the Los Angeles Clippers, 126-107, while the Blazers had been idle after losing to the Los Angeles Lakers two nights earlier.

The Clippers falling off a cliff is a nightmare scenario for the rest of the NBA’s contenders with OKC in position to land another blue chip talent. The nightmare is only getting worse, because the 2026 Clippers pick is just the start of OKC’s future draft stash. Here’s every pick owned by the Thunder right now.
