The Oklahoma City Thunder locked in the No. 1 seed in the West a couple of weeks ago, but they still have something to play for before the playoffs begin. At 64-12 with six games to go in the regular season, the Thunder could join the 70-win club — which includes only the 2015-16 Warriors and 1995-96 Bulls — if they win out.
OKC is currently on an 11-game winning streak and has won 18 of its past 19 games. Since the All-Star break, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Co. have lost only twice: home games against the Timberwolves on Feb. 24 and the Nuggets on March 10. BetMGM currently gives the Thunder +300 odds of reaching the 70-win mark.
Here’s a look at OKC’s remaining schedule and where the Thunder currently rank among teams with the most wins in a single season in NBA history.
