Shai Gilgeous-Alexander tracker
Gilgeous-Alexander, born in Toronto, won his second straight MVP award in 2025-26 after averaging 31.1 points a game. ESPN reported in October 2026 that Jalen Williams (dislocated left ankle, fractured fibula) and Cason Wallace (torn left labrum) both need surgery, so even more of the load falls on him.

Oklahoma City Thunder odds
We don’t print a price for the Thunder here yet. No Canadian sportsbook feed covers the NBA for us, and an American number isn’t a fair guide to what you’ll see in your province.
Where you can bet depends on where you live. Ontario and Alberta have licensed private sportsbooks, and the rest of Canada bets through its provincial lottery platform. Our NBA betting hub explains each province, and the list below is matched to where you are.
Oklahoma City Thunder history
The franchise began as the Seattle SuperSonics in 1967-68. Lenny Wilkens coached Seattle to its only title in 1979, a 4-1 Finals win over Washington. Dennis Johnson was Finals MVP. Gary Payton, drafted second overall in 1990, carried the club through the 1990s.
A group led by Clay Bennett bought the Sonics in 2006 and moved them to Oklahoma City in 2008. Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden came through together. They reached the 2012 Finals and lost to Miami in five games. Durant was MVP in 2014, Westbrook in 2017.
In July 2019 the Thunder traded Paul George to the Clippers for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and a bundle of future first-round picks. The rebuild that followed peaked in 2024-25. Oklahoma City won 68 games, then beat Indiana in a seven-game Finals. They clinched it 103-91 on 22 June 2025, and Gilgeous-Alexander was MVP and Finals MVP.
Most famous player: Gary Payton
Gary Payton holds the franchise records for games, assists and steals, all set in Seattle. The SuperSonics drafted him second overall in 1990 and he stayed until 2003. He was Defensive Player of the Year in 1995-96 and is in the Hall of Fame.
The modern Thunder belong to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, born in Toronto. He was MVP in 2025 and again in 2026. His Finals MVP in 2025 was the franchise’s first since Dennis Johnson in 1979.
