The OKC Thunder just got a major scheduling advantage heading into the 2026-27 season — only 13 back-to-backs, tied for the fewest in the NBA.

But don’t let the rest days fool you: Shai, Jalen, and Chet are leading a loaded squad that’s now co-favorites to win it all. Key road-and-home stretches — like Portland doubleheaders and April showdowns with Golden State — will test their stamina. Can they stay elite without the bench cushion? The answer might just define their championship run.
