At +225, the OKC Thunder boast the best odds of taking home the Larry O'Brien Trophy heading into 2025-26. However, right on their tails are the Denver Nuggets at +700, the second-best mark out of all 30 teams.
As fans witnessed last postseason, Denver certainly proved to be a formidable foe for Oklahoma City, as they took them to a hard-fought seven games during their second-round semifinal matchup.
In the end, the Thunder wound up prevailing and, ultimately, would go on to win the 2025 NBA Finals, though had a few plays gone a tad bit differently, there's a realistic chance the Nuggets could have been crowned as league champs for the second time in three years.
