The 2025-26 Western Conference standings positioned the Oklahoma City Thunder (64-18) and San Antonio Spurs (62-20) as clear frontrunners for playoff seeding and advancement, with Victor Wembanyama anchoring a rising Spurs core and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leading the defending-champion Thunder. Thunder swept early series against the Suns and Lakers before a grueling seven-game Western Conference Finals loss to the Spurs, who advanced past the Timberwolves and closed strong in Games 6 and 7 behind Wembanyama's two-way dominance. Roster health, home-court advantage, and recent form in high-stakes matchups shaped trader views on which teams would reach the conference finals, with late-season momentum and injury reports influencing implied probabilities across contenders like the Nuggets, Lakers, and Rockets.
