Oklahoma City Thunder lead trader consensus at 37.5% implied probability as defending champions holding a top Western Conference seed amid Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's historic scoring consistency and recent wins like the March 27 victory over Chicago despite Chet Holmgren's late scratch, with Jalen Williams nearing return from injury boosting their playoff path. San Antonio Spurs at 15.7% reflect Victor Wembanyama's MVP ladder-topping dominance—26 points, 15 rebounds, five blocks in a recent rout of Miami—and their league-best 55-18 record clinching a top-two West seed on a scorching streak. Boston Celtics' 11.3% stems from their steady 49-24 Eastern Conference standing and depth shown in recent games without Jaylen Brown, while Denver Nuggets' 8.5% hinges on Nikola Jokić's unprecedented triple-doubles fueling late surges, underscoring a wide-open postseason where West depth drives sentiment.
