Oklahoma City Thunder's clinch of the Western Conference No. 1 seed with a dominant 64-18 regular-season record has driven their 58% trader consensus as favorites to repeat as conference champions, granting home-court advantage throughout the playoffs and an easy first-round path against the No. 8 play-in winner. San Antonio Spurs' surge to the No. 2 seed at 61-19 positions them second at 22%, fueled by Victor Wembanyama's growth and a matchup versus No. 7 Portland Trail Blazers. Denver Nuggets hold 13% implied probability as No. 3 seeds behind Nikola Jokić's league-leading stats in points, rebounds, and assists, facing Minnesota Timberwolves. Recent rest management in finales preserved health for top seeds, while lower probabilities for Houston Rockets, Lakers, and others reflect tougher brackets and inferior records.
