The Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs enter the 2026-27 season as the clear frontrunners in the Western Conference after posting the top records in 2025-26. Their depth, defensive identity, and star production position them for favorable first-round matchups and strong odds to reach the conference semifinals. Contenders such as the Denver Nuggets, Minnesota Timberwolves, Houston Rockets, and Los Angeles Lakers face tougher paths depending on seeding and health. Key factors include early-season form, injury reports for rotation players, home-court advantage in best-of-seven series, and any roster adjustments before the April 2027 playoffs. The play-in tournament adds variability for seeds 7-10.
