Now the Thunder turns their attention to Charlotte, North Carolina, where they will take on the Hornets in a Sunday matinee showdown. The Hornets are an organization full of drama at the moment—Miles Bridges, Kai Jones, etc.—but they have plenty of young talent, particularly in point guard LaMelo Ball, who played in just 36 games last season due to a season-ending ankle injury.

Now OKC is set to host the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons are dead last in the Eastern Conference Standings and have the worst record in the NBA at 16-59. As a result, the Thunder is nearly a double-digit favorite for the third consecutive game, but if the last two games are any indicator of how OKC might play tonight, then it’s going to be a stressful matchup.

The Thunder finally returns home after a 4-game West Coast road trip, and they have won their last 5 in OKC. The Hornets are riddled with injuries and have no real incentive to win considering they have already been eliminated from playoff contention. I hesitate to take OKC to cover such a big spread after they nearly laid on egg on Sunday in Portland, but this team just plays differently when at home. I like the Thunder by double digits in this one.

The Oklahoma City Thunder’s playoff hopes are still very much alive, and they can help their chances tonight as they return from a 4-game West Coast road trip to host the visiting Charlotte Hornets. OKC managed to go 2-2 on the recent road trip, wrapping up it up with a 118-112 victory over the Trail Blazers in Portland on Sunday.

Charlotte is as healthy as they have been all season, and I’m sure that’s why they’re a slight favorite over OKC, despite the fact that the Thunder has been playing far superior basketball as of late. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the best player in this game, and despite the news of Poku’s injury, I still think OKC has the better team, and they should get the win road tonight.

The Oklahoma City Thunder is fresh off a 130-114 win against the San Antonio Spurs, one of the largest margins of victory for OKC all season so far. The Spurs aren’t a great team, but the Thunder has been playing solid basketball lately, and they will look to continue that tonight as they take on the Charlotte Hornets on the road.

The Thunder did their best to stage a comeback last night against the Memphis Grizzlies, and despite trailing by double digits late in the fourth quarter, they managed to cut the deficit to 6 in the final minute. Memphis won, but OKC covered easily. Charlotte enters tonight’s game after a couple days of rest, while the Thunder is playing the second game of a back-to-back. Still, the Hornets are not used to being double-digit favorites on the road, and as electric as the home crowd was last night, I anticipate an energized Thunder squad that should cover the spread and might even manage to pull out a win.

The Oklahoma City Thunder put up a fight against the Memphis Grizzlies in front of a packed house last night, but they fell short, dropping their 5th consecutive game and 9th straight home loss. The Thunder gets another shot at some action tonight as they host the Charlotte Hornets.

The struggles continue for the Oklahoma City Thunder, and Wednesday night’s performance in San Antonio against the Spurs was about as bad as it gets. The season goes on, however, as the Thunder takes on the Charlotte Hornets on the road for the first game of a back-to-back.

Charlotte is the second highest scoring team in the league so that makes this point total a little more bloated tonight. There are no easy picks with this game but here’s your best chance because the Hornets are playing an OKC squad that ranks dead last in the NBA in scoring, and that’s what we’re going to hang our hats on here.
