Series History

The Thunder went 1-1 against the Sixers last season (0-1 at home, 1-0 on the road).

Why the Thunder Will Cover (+1.5)

The Thunder are going to be tested in this one for sure, but playing in OKC is a slight edge.The Thunder is riding the league’s longest active winning streaking right now, and the Sixers have lost two in a row. Add to it that that OKC has played really well in these games where the spread is extremely close, and I see the Thunder pulling out a tight win.

Why the Game Will Hit the Over (229)

A couple of days off for the Thunder will serve them well today. Joel Embiid is likely going to tear it up in the paint, but there’s not a soul in a Philly uniform that can slow down Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. This isn’t going to be a crazy high-scoring game, but I see it hitting the over on the point total.
