Knicks, Thunder, Sixers, Spurs Lead 2026/27 Title Odds
ClutchPoints ranks all 30 NBA teams into seven tiers ahead of 2026/27, with the champion Knicks, Thunder, 76ers and Spurs topping the title-favorite group.
ClutchPoints has placed the Knicks, Thunder, 76ers and Spurs in its top tier ahead of the 2026/27 NBA season, ranking all 30 teams into seven bands by title chances.
New York top the group as reigning champions. Oklahoma City join them as the most consistent and deepest side of recent seasons, with San Antonio included on the back of last season's Finals run. Philadelphia, who strengthened their roster over the summer, complete the four.
At the other end, ClutchPoints rates Brooklyn — with Egor Demin on the roster — and Chicago, who took Caleb Wilson with the fourth pick in this year's draft, among the weakest teams. Milwaukee, who lost Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Ben Simmons's Sacramento also land in the bottom category, listed among sides fighting over draft positioning rather than a playoff spot.
Between those two ends, the outlet sorts the rest of the league into bands for Western Conference contenders, dark horses, teams that need things to break their way, and clubs it expects to settle for the play-in.
