Inside the Numbers: Oklahoma’s Ruthless Efficiency Fuels 14-2 Rout of Ole Miss
At some point, the numbers stop being statistics and start becoming statements. That’s where Oklahoma finds itself right now. In a 14-2, five-inning dismantling of…
Oklahoma City Thunder | Game #72 Preview: Philadelphia 76ers
The Oklahoma City Thunder won their 11th straight game on Saturday against the Washington Wizards despite a scuffle that led to OKC losing Jaylin Williams, Ajay Mitchell, and Cason Wallace to ejection. Ajay Mitchell received a one-game suspension, which he will serve on Monday night as the Thunder plays the fourth game of a five-game East Coast road trip.

Thunder Against the Spread | OKC Heads to Philly as Heavy Favorite in JDub’s Return to Action
Ajay Mitchell received a one-game suspension for his involvement in the scuffle with the Washington Wizards on Saturday, but Jalen Williams is back in action. On the other hand, the Sixers are missing their top three scorers—Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid, and Paul George—which is why the Thunder is such a heavy favorite. OKC is at full strength for the first time in what seems like forever, and even though this is the fourth game in a five-game road trip, I like the Thunder to cover.

Thunder Against the Spread | OKC Favored Over Washington In Largest Spread of the Season
OKC has been favored in every game that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has played (and then some), but none by this many points. The Wizards have one of the deepest injury reports in the league, and they’ve been eliminated from playoff contention. OKC is so close to full health, and I think this game is going to be similar to the result in Brooklyn on Wednesday, so I’m taking the Thunder to win big.

Oklahoma City Thunder | Game #70 Preview: Brooklyn Nets
After a run of six straight games against teams currently in a playoff position or a play-in scenario, the Oklahoma City Thunder should feel a lightening of the load on Wednesday as they take on the Brooklyn Nets. The Thunder kicked off a 5-game East Coast road trip Tuesday night with a 113-108 victory in Orlando against the Magic, and after this second game of a back-to-back, OKC has just one more back-to-back remaining in the season.

Thunder Against the Spread | OKC Heads Into Brooklyn As Monster Favorite Over Nets
OKC has seen a spread in the 18-21 points range just three times this season without covering once. I think this could finally be their time to do so, though, as Brooklyn appears to be entirely disinterested in winning. The Nets have lost by 20 points in 14 of their 51 losses. Overall, 1 out of every 5 games they play ends in a loss of 20 points or greater. The Thunder is deep enough that, regardless of who plays major minutes, this one should end in a blowout win.
