Why the Thunder Will Cover (+13.5)

With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams out, the Thunder is severely lacking playmaking ability on both ends of the floor. Still, this is a giant spread, and OKC has plenty of guys that can hit shots. If Isaiah Joe gets hot, or even a more unlikely player like Josh Giddey or Luguentz Dort, then they could definitely keep this a single-digit game. I’m taking the Thunder to cover, even if it is barely.

Why the Game Will Hit the Over (233.5)

OKC has the second-highest scoring offense in the league. Sure, they’re missing two of their top two scorers, but again, they have shooters all around. Because I think that the Thunder keeps this game within single digits, I think we will see plenty of points, thus hitting the over on the point total.
