Thanks to the L.A. Clippers, the Thunder right now would have the No. 3 pick in next summer’s NBA Draft, which is 6-foot-9 BYU star AJ Dybantsa and his 20.3 points and 6.6 rebounds per game, per Tankathon.com.

The Thunder are on pace to become the greatest team ever in the NBA, but are they better than Michael Jordan's Bulls in the 90s?

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.

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.
