NBA horror movie! Thunder rushes towards 74 wins and may win 3 lottery picks

On November 24, the Thunder defeated the Trail Blazers 122-95, easily gaining 9 consecutive victories. So far this season, the defending champions have achieved a record of 17 wins and 1 loss. What's even more exaggerated is that they beat their opponents by an average of 16.9 points per game. Their performance can be called an NBA horror movie.

Last season, the Thunder's average margin of victory of 12.9 points per game set an NBA record. So far this season, this number has become even more astonishing. According to estimates from data website CTG, the Thunder's season-to-date performance translates into a season record of approximately 74.6 wins. Considering that Thunder second-in-command Jaylen Williams has been absent due to injury and has yet to make his season debut, and rotation players such as Chet Holmgren, Caruso, and Aaron Wiggins have also missed some games, the dominance of this team is frightening.

What is even more spine-chilling is the picture below. If the NBA draft lottery is opened today, the Thunder may even receive three lottery picks for next year-from the Clippers, Jazz and 76ers.

Of course, the Jazz's first-round pick is top eight protected, which means that as long as the Jazz continue to mess up and get the top eight picks, they can keep that pick. At the same time, if the 76ers can have a better record in the future, that pick will not fall into the lottery area. But for a defending champion team that is astonishingly dominant to still have a chance to get three lottery picks at this stage of the season, this is indeed a shocking picture that has never been seen before.
