Why the Thunder Will Cover (-7)
The Thunder is rolling in a historic way. As a team, they’re shooting over 50% from the field, over 40% from three, and just under 90% from the free throw line. Meanwhile, Chicago is struggling to stay afloat at 5-10 on the season. OKC handled the Bulls just fine in the season opener, and the Thunder has only gotten better since then. Barring some sort of weird letdown, OKC should win this one by double digits.
Why the Game Will Hit the Over (225.5)
Despite the Bulls having one of the lowest-scoring offenses in the league, the Thunder has been putting up crazy numbers, and I expect them to continue to do so in front of the home crowd tonight. This is kind of a lower point total, so I’m taking the over.
