Why the Thunder Will Cover (-16)

I’m rarely a fan of a giant spread like this one, and while I’m still not thrilled that it’s so large, it’s hard not to at least consider it. Washington is unequivocally terrible, and OKC is playing really well right now, which could lead to a disastrous situation for Thunder fans, but I’m leaning towards the continued success of one of the top teams in the league. Expect a blowout win in front of the home crowd tonight.

Why the Game Will Hit the Over (242)

Similar to the spread, this is a really large number, which should make me nervous, but if the Thunder can score a lot of points against the Clippers, then they should have no problems scoring against the Wizards. This game very likely could have a 130ish to 110ish final score, which will likely go over the point total, so I’m taking it.
