Oklahoma City Thunder Betting Preview
The OKC Thunder took some major strides in the NBA last season, making the play-in tournament and finishing one spot shy of a spot in the playoffs. This year, expectations are higher than they have been in a long time for the Thunder, as they are no longer tanking and expected to be a playoff team. But with high expectations can come high pressure, and the Thunder will need to make sure that they do not succumb to that pressure this year.

Oklahoma City Thunder Picks, Predictions & Betting News
Offseason Transactions
Key Additions: Davis Bertans
Key Departures: Victor Oladipo, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl
It was not a very impactful offseason for the Oklahoma City Thunder, as they essentially swapped out bit part players. The Thunder nucleus remained intact in the offseason, which was the entire goal for the franchise. The most important acquisition is the return of Chet Holmgren from injury, as Holmgren missed all of last season. With him back, this could feel like a very different team even though they did not make any big moves.
Positives & Negatives
The biggest positive for the OKC Thunder is its guard play, as this team has one of the best guard groups in the league. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is a legitimate star in this league, while Josh Giddey is one of the most versatile players in the NBA. They will plague opposing defenses this season, which will set the tone for this roster all season long.
But there is some concern going into this season about whether or not Holmgren can stay healthy. He does not have an extensive injury history before last year’s Lisfranc injury situation popped up. While he should be fine, there is some concern that he could always miss time again this year.
2023-24 Oklahoma City Thunder Win Total Prediction: Over 44.5 Wins
As currently constructed, the Oklahoma City Thunder have a lot to be excited about. We will take them to go over their season win total, as their young and hungry core should be able to outperform a lot of teams that will be more focused on postseason success than playing well during the regular season.
