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?

Stephen A. Smith believes that the Oklahoma City Thunder are so dominant it could make this NBA season boring.

With a current BetMGM win total over/under at 69.5 wins (-140 over/+115 under), Oklahoma City is currently favored to become the third 70-win team in NBA history. The -140 odds for “over 69.5” imply a more than 58 percent chance of getting there.

The Oklahoma City Thunder (23-1) ride a 15-game winning streak into Wednesday night’s NBA Cup rematch with the Phoenix Suns (14-10) at Paycom Center, with the winner advancing to Saturday’s semifinals in Las Vegas.

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.
