Series History

The Thunder is 0-0 against the Raptors so far this season (0-0 at home, 0-0 on the road).

Why the Thunder Will Cover (-8.5)

The Raptors have been sliding hard lately, losing 10 of their last 12 games, and 4 of their last 8 losses have been by 20+ points. OKC has won 7 of their last 9 games with 3 of those wins by 20+. If recent trends can tell us anything here, I feel pretty good about the Thunder winning this one by double digits.

Why the Game Will NOT Hit the Over (238)

Oklahoma City is likely to score a lot of points tonight, but in order to hit the over on this point total, Toronto likely has to score a ton as well, and I don’t see that happening. The Thunder has played pretty solid defense over the last few games especially, and I think the major contributor there is the home crowd, so that should continue tonight.
