Approximately one quarter of the way through the 2025-2026 NBA season, a few teams are starting to fall behind (understatement)..
Decided to put together a first-past-the-post market. Everyone’s watching juggernauts like the Thunder losing just one of their first 24 games, and I just wanna see who’s booking their ticket to be one-and-done with the regular season.
If you add a team, please add city and nickname at a minimum, record by date is optional but preferred.

Updated tonight. NOTE: Does not include results of tonight's games.
This looks to be a two-horse race.
The Pacers are 16.5 games behind the 10-seed in the Eastern Conference with 18 games remaining on schedule.
The Kings are 16 games behind the 10-seed in the Western Conference with 17 games remaining on schedule.
Do with that information what you will!
We're not quite halfway through the season, but it's clear a couple of these teams have improved over the holidays.
I've updated for all records prior to games scheduled for today (1/11/2026), and I'll periodically fill these in with more details as the end of the regular season draws closer.
I'll put a happy little spreadsheet together where I gauge the games remaining against "games behind the 10 seed" in a team's respective conference.
The Kings, for example, aren't looking great, but technically, they're only 8 games out of qualifying for the playoff play-ins (yes, a thing) with 44 games left on their schedule. Far from impossible at this point.
