1. Oklahoma City Thunder.
League-best +11.6 point differential with JDub playing 33 games, and he's healthy now. Dort, Joe and Wiggins were moved to duck the second apron, but Wallace takes Dort's spot and Ayaj Mitchell and Jared McCain can take on-ball load off Shai.
My 2026-27 West power rankings are in.
OKC and San Antonio have their own tier. Everyone else is fighting injuries and a crowded middle.
1-15 with reasons 🍜
2. San Antonio Spurs
Beat OKC in seven in the West finals and return the whole rotation plus Harris at the four. Wemby (DPOY, First Team All-NBA) is 22, and Harper still comes off the bench. The worry is Wemby's health and spacing: Castle, Harper and Fox aren't knockdown shooters
