Inside the NBA’s Future: The Opta Supercomputer’s Shocking Playoff Bracket Predictions Revealed
Other things, however, have remained the same. For all the talk about the defending champ’s great 35-7 start, the Thunder were equally impressive a year ago with a 33-6 record.
Where does all that leave us as we look ahead to the rest of 2025-26?
With most teams right around the 41-game halfway point of the season, we’re asking the Opta supercomputer to give us the projected playoff teams, play-in teams and those who will get an early trip to Cabo at the season’s end.
Projected Western Conference Playoffs
1. Oklahoma City Thunder
- Current Record (through Jan. 15): 35-7
- Projected Final Record: 66-16
- Probability of Making the Playoffs: <100%
- Probability of Reaching the NBA Finals: 54.7%
Trending: The Thunder have 15 wins by at least 20 points in 2025-26 after Thursday’s victory, surpassing last year’s team for the most 20-point wins pre-All-Star break in franchise history. No other team in the NBA has more than nine such wins this year.
