Here's how the OKC Thunder's 2023-24 season is projected to play out
The wild, wild Western Conference isn't for the faint of heart.
With the regular season set to end on Sunday, teams are still jostling for position in the conference standings. Among the heavyweights is the OKC Thunder (56-25), which is in first place thanks to a three-way tiebreaker with Minnesota and Denver.
Basketball Reference has a playoff probabilities report that has done 10,000 simulations of the remainder of the season, including the play-in round. It also projects each team's chance of winning the conference and NBA finals.
Here's how the rest of the Thunder's season is projected to play out. This article will be updated daily.
