Series History

Why the Thunder Will Cover (-16)
This is a giant spread under normal circumstances, but when you take a closer look, you realize it’s really not that outlandish at all. OKC’s average margin of score is +12 points, and Washington’s average is -13.6 points. The Thunder has won 14 games by at least 16 points—one of those was an 18-point victory against the Wizards in OKC just a few weeks ago—so they should be able to handle business and roll over Washington just fine.
Why the Game Will NOT Hit the Over (231)
Despite blowing teams out often, OKC hits the under on the point total more often than the other. That’s because of their suffocating defense, which they should be able to apply to a weak Wizards offense. While I do think the Thunder blows the Wizards out, I think it’s going to be more about keeping Washington from scoring than trying to beat them in a track meet. I’m taking the under on the point total.
