Thunder Against Spread | OKC a Slight Favorite Over Pacers in Indiana

The Pacers are on a 4-game losing streak, and they don’t exactly have the best chances to make the playoffs. On the other hand, they could improve their odds in the draft lottery by losing a few more games. Lastly, Indiana is missing several key players due to injury. Put all of that together, and it’s hard for me to think that the Thunder cannot pull out a win. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is questionable to play tonight due to a sprained ankle, but even without him, OKC definitely has what it takes to get win, regardless of how they have played lately.

OKC Thunder | Game #78 Preview: Indiana Pacers

The Oklahoma City Thunder will likely play their third consecutive game without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on Friday night as they travel to Indiana to take on the Pacers. SGA sprained his ankle last Sunday in Portland against the Blazers, and he is listed as questionable on the latest injury report.

Thunder Against the Spread | OKC is a Heavy Favorite (Again) at Home Against the Pistons

Call me a glutton for punishment; that’s fine. For the third game in a row, OKC is a heavy favorite against a seriously depleted team, and in this case, it’s the Pistons, who have the league’s worst record. Even without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Thunder should be able to win this one by a heavy margin. I think last night’s loss should be more than enough fuel for OKC to come out and pick up a big win, so I’m taking the Thunder to win by double digits.

OKC Thunder | Game #77 Preview: Detroit Pistons

Now OKC is set to host the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons are dead last in the Eastern Conference Standings and have the worst record in the NBA at 16-59. As a result, the Thunder is nearly a double-digit favorite for the third consecutive game, but if the last two games are any indicator of how OKC might play tonight, then it’s going to be a stressful matchup.

Thunder Against the Spread | Cautiously Take OKC to Cover Big Spread

The Thunder finally returns home after a 4-game West Coast road trip, and they have won their last 5 in OKC. The Hornets are riddled with injuries and have no real incentive to win considering they have already been eliminated from playoff contention. I hesitate to take OKC to cover such a big spread after they nearly laid on egg on Sunday in Portland, but this team just plays differently when at home. I like the Thunder by double digits in this one.

OKC Thunder | Game #76 Preview: Charlotte Hornets

The Oklahoma City Thunder’s playoff hopes are still very much alive, and they can help their chances tonight as they return from a 4-game West Coast road trip to host the visiting Charlotte Hornets. OKC managed to go 2-2 on the recent road trip, wrapping up it up with a 118-112 victory over the Trail Blazers in Portland on Sunday.

Thunder Against the Spread | Expect a Big Win for OKC in Portland

OKC must win this game at all costs. Portland is severely depleted, and the Thunder is as close to full-strength as they have been all season. OKC hasn’t been favored by this much in a long time, but I’m anticipating a large margin of victory.

OKC Thunder | Game #75 Preview: Portland Trail Blazers

The Oklahoma City Thunder wraps up a 4-game West Coast road trip on Sunday evening as they take on the depleted Portland Trail Blazers. OKC is 1-2 so far on the road trip, defeating the Los Angeles Clippers in a tight one last Tuesday before getting blown out by them on Thursday followed by another tight loss in LA against the Lakers.

Thunder Against the Spread | OKC Needs to Beat Lakers in SEGABABA

OKC and LA are tied in the Western Conference standings right now, along with the Mavericks and the Pelicans. Because of tiebreakers, however, the Lakers are in 9th place while the Thunder is in 11th. With just 9 games left in the season, literally every game is going to change up who is in a playoff spot and who isn’t. While both teams really need to win, the Thunder REALLY needs to win this one. OKC has not been in a “must-win” situation for years, but this meeting probably qualifies. With that in mind, I’m taking OKC to at least cover if not outright win the game as well.
