Fresh off winning the NBA title, the Oklahoma City Thunder are already favored to repeat next year. The Thunder beat the Indiana Pacers 103-91 in Game 7 on Sunday to claim the franchise's second NBA title — they won the 1979 championship as the Seattle SuperSonics. Oklahoma City opened the year at +950 to win it all, but those odds shortened throughout the year, down to -175 going into the conference finals.
