Are the Boston Celtics or the Oklahoma City Thunder the favorites to win the NBA’s 2025 title? It depends on when you ask, or so it may seem to fans of both teams this season. It also likely depend on what you most value in terms of what shows the strength of a title contender.

But they also have one of the most experienced rosters in the Association when it comes to postseason play. And on the Oklahoma City side, they have the league’s second-best record at the time of writing, but still need to prove they can hack it in the playoffs.
