The Oklahoma City Thunder continue to enjoy their 2026 NBA All-Star break. Sitting atop the NBA standings at 42-14, they’ve slowly lost their cushion for the league-best record with a mediocre two months. Injuries have finally cost them a bit.
The Thunder remain the championship favorite. Albeit with a thinner margin for error. The reigning NBA champions have looked more vulnerable in recent weeks due to constantly juggling injuries.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams headline OKC’s squad. Behind them, they have one of the deepest supporting casts.
