Why the Thunder Will Cover (-15.5)
I’m really not a fan of these double-digit spreads. I have a tendency to take the underdog just because even the worst teams in the league tend to put together single-digit losses far more often than double-digit ones. That’s not the the case, with the Hornets, however, as their average margin is a league-worst -11.7. Only a third of Charlotte’s losses have been by double digits, and a whopping 14 of their 36 defeats have been by at least 16 points. Even with Jalen Williams (sprained right ankle) and Isaiah Joe (sternum contusion) out, I’m feeling like OKC is going to perform well in front of the home crowd.
Why the Game Will Hit the Over (225)
I’m expecting a pretty big blowout win for the Thunder, but even still, I see Charlotte getting to at least 100 points. I’m going to cautiously take the over on the point total just because I think OKC scores easily and often.
