The Oklahoma City Thunder (5-2) ended a two-game skid on Monday with a road win over the Cleveland Cavaliers (4-3). Now the teams meet again, but this time in OKC.

Thunder Against the Spread | OKC Favored as Alex Caruso Returns to Help Thunder in Matchup with Cavs
OKC beat Cleveland 117-112 on Monday, but I’m not sure how much that matters for tonight. The matchup will be extremely similar, except OKC has Alex Caruso back from injury, and Jaylin Williams might be out with some lower back spasms. Oh, and the Thunder have Loud City at their backs. I didn’t think the Thunder would beat the Cavs in Cleveland on Monday, but I definitely think OKC gets the win tonight and covers the spread.

Oklahoma City Thunder | Game #7 Preview: Cleveland Cavaliers
A lot can change in a week. After a 4-0 start to the season, the Oklahoma City Thunder are now 4-2, dropping 2 of 3 games since losing Jalen Williams and Cason Wallace to injury last Sunday. Since then, Chet Holmgren and Alex Caruso have been added to the list of extended time missed, and OKC has yet to figure things out.

Thunder Against the Spread | OKC Heads to Cleveland as a Small Underdog
OKC has looked pretty awful the last couple of games, and it might be a little while before they find a groove. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander hasn’t looked particularly great, either, and this team is going to go as far as he can take them. I think SGA starts to impose his will more often, but the Cavaliers look a lot better than the Thunder right now. I think OKC can keep this one interesting and hopefully not get blown out for the third straight time, but I still like Cleveland to cover the small spread.

Oklahoma City Thunder | Game #6 Preview: Houston Rockets
The Oklahoma City Thunder (4-1) play their second consecutive game in Texas as they take on the Houston Rockets (5-1) on Saturday night. The Thunder lost in a disappointing fashion on Wednesday to the Dallas Mavericks 120-96 for their first loss of the season, and while they hope for a rebound game tonight, it won’t come easy.

Thunder Against the Spread | OKC Heads Into Matchup with Rockets as Slight Road Dog
I’m honestly surprised that this spread is so slim. Oklahoma City just received the bad news about Chet Holmgren missing extended time, and that puts a lot of pressure on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The Rockets are coming off a 116-111 loss last night to the Dallas Mavericks, so perhaps the second game of a back-to-back impacts their play. SGA is always up to a challenge, and while I think the Thunder can keep it to within single digits, I just don’t see OKC being able to pull out a win on the road against Houston.

#24 Oklahoma State Cowboys vs. Iowa State Cyclones | How to Watch, Storylines, Odds, and Predictions
The #24 Oklahoma State Cowboys (5-2) are headed to Ames, Iowa, for a Halloween night matchup with the Iowa State Cyclones (3-4). The Cowboy offense is one of the best in the nation, and as a result, Oklahoma State has scored 30+ points in 6 straight games, the longest such streak since scoring 8 straight games stretching across the 2021 and 2022 seasons. The defense, however, has struggled against quality offenses, but the Cyclones do not fall into that category.

Oklahoma City Thunder | Game #5 Preview: Dallas Mavericks
The Oklahoma City Thunder (4-0) head south a few hours on Wednesday night to face the Dallas Mavericks (2-2). The Thunder are playing their 3rd game in 5 nights, but the Mavericks are playing their 4th game in 6 nights. Neither team has a clean bill of health, so the expectation is a close game.

Thunder Against the Spread | OKC Favored on the Road Against Mavericks Despite Lengthy Injury Report
OKC is far and away the better team, but tonight’s injury report could make this one more interesting than normal. The Thunder are missing Jalen Williams and Cason Wallace for the season, but Chet Holmgren and Alex Caruso are also out tonight. Add to it that Ajay Mitchell could be missing, and OKC could be without 5 of their top 7 players.

Oklahoma City Thunder | Game #4 Preview: Phoenix Suns
The Oklahoma City Thunder (3-0) hosts the Phoenix Suns (1-1) on Monday for the second game of a back-to-back. OKC is still working through the emotions of losing Jalen Williams to a horrific lower-left leg injury that will likely cause him to miss extended time, if not the rest of the season. Cason Wallace and Jaylin Williams also did not return in the second half after playing just five minutes each in the first half before getting hurt. Still, the Thunder are no strangers to playing with injuries.
