Our Supercomputer is predicting the Thunder will claim their first NBA Championship trump in 46 years, dating back to 1979 when they won their one and only championship. After a strong campaign last year where they started as +8500 outsiders, Oklahoma won the Western Conference before bowing out in the NBA Playoffs.

However, this year the Supercomputer is expecting them to improve once again and go all the way this time around.

With the Oklahoma City Thunder projected to go all the way to win the 2025 NBA Championship by our NBA Supercomputer, this of course means they are predicted to win the Western Conference before defeating the Eastern Conference champions in the season finale.

The Western Conference looks as competitive as ever, with the Dallas Mavericks looking to go one better than last year and actually win the NBA Finals this time.

However, this time our NBA Supercomputer is predicting the Thunder will go all the way. En route to the NBA Finals, OKC will defeat the LA Lakers, Denver Nuggets and Dallas Mavericks before meeting the Boston Celtics in the season finale for the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy.

The Supercomputer is predicting the Thunder will overcome the Lakers 4-1 first in the Playoffs, before beating the Nuggets 4-2 in the Conference semi-final. In the Western Conference final, the Thunder will get revenge on the mavericks and triumph 4-1, before beating the Celtics 403 in a seven-game thriller in the NBA Finals.
