Why the Thunder Will Cover (-1)
Neither of these teams really cares about the outcome of this game. It appears like the Thunder would actually like to lose it just because of the slight boost in draft odds. Still, the game has to be played, and based on who is active for it, the Thunder appears to have a slight edge, perhaps only because the game is being played in front of the home crowd. With that in mind, I’m taking OKC to win a close one.
Why the Game Will Hit the Over (229.5)
While I do expect these guys who typically don’t get a lot of minutes to play about as hard as they can, I also expect shots to fall and guys to show out. I’m taking the over because I think we could see a decent score.
