Both the Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder found success this season thanks to trades made several years ago.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are the favorites to win the NBA title heading into the postseason. Here is the odds breakdown for every series.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander wins MVP honors for the 1st time in his career, edging out Nikola Jokić and Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The NBA hasn't had an American win the MVP in seven seasons, and ESPN's Jay Williams said that cancel culture could be the reason for that.

Former Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone provided some insight Thursday night into what makes Oklahoma City Thunder guard and reigning NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander such a difficult player to guard.

There is someone who the Oklahoma City Thunder simply cannot stop. They simultaneously send multiple players — sometimes about half the roster, it seems — to try and derail him.

In the third quarter of the Timberwolves’ Game 1 loss to Oklahoma City, Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander tried to drive right past his cousin, Nickeil Alexander-Walker. Shai fell down, and the official called a foul on Nickeil.

Conventional wisdom in the NBA is veteran-laden teams typically do best come playoff time. The Timberwolves and the New York Knicks, two of the other conference finalists, have rosters with average experience in the top half of the NBA. Oklahoma City, meanwhile, entered the season with the lowest average age and least experience of any roster.
