The two teams meet again in OKC Wednesday night, and I would expect another exciting back-and-forth matchup, especially if Josh Giddey (non-Covid illness) and Darius Bazley (non-Covid illness) are back for the Thunder and Jusuf Nurkic (right calf soreness) is back for the Blazers.

Happy New Year, Thunder fans! OKC rang in 2022 with a win on Friday night against the New York Knicks, and now fans get to enjoy 3 of the next 4 games at home before the Thunder head out on the road for 6 of the following 7 on the road. The Thunder is a bit short-handed tonight, but alas, the show must go on as they play host to the Dallas Mavericks.

The Lakers are stacked with seasoned veterans who can have a big impact on any given night. Lebron James and Russell Westbrook are two difference makers for Los Angeles, but they’re not the X-factor when it comes to playing the Thunder. Anthony Davis has found consistent success against OKC over the years, and he should undoubtedly be the key focus for tonight’s matchup.

The Oklahoma City Thunder ended an 8-game losing streak on Monday with a 114-103 win over the Pistons in Detroit which featured a spectacular 4th quarter comeback. The Thunder caught fire in the final period, making 13 straight field goals, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander returned from concussion protocol to finish the night with a career-high 13 assists. Tonight, the Thunder wraps up a 3-game road trip in Toronto as they take on the Raptors.

Tank or no tank, the Thunder is a fun squad, and they have been a lot of fun to watch. Last night they dropped a single-digit loss to the reigning NBA champions, and if it wasn’t for poor shot selection late in the game, they would have had a good chance to pull out a win. Regardless, the show must go on, and tonight, the Thunder takes on the Celtics in Boston for the second game of a three-game road trip.

Since winning four straight games, the Oklahoma City Thunder has now lost two in a row, but they very well could pick up a win tonight as they host the Houston Rockets. The Rockets are just 1-13 on the season with their lone victory coming against the Thunder when the two met earleir this season.

The Oklahoma City Thunder’s win streak came to an end last night at the hands of the Brooklyn Nets, and the competition doesn’t get much easier tonight as the Thunder hosts the Miami Heat. After starting the season 6-1, the Heat are 8-5 after winning just 2 of their last 6.

Oklahoma City is riding the hot hand of a 4-game winning streak and they’re playing at home where they’re averaging 105.6 points per game. The Nets are 3-4 against the spread when playing on the road this season and the Thunder are a strong 4-1 against the spread at home. When playing after a day off OKC is beating the spread 60% of the time. Meanwhile, Brooklyn is only covering 45% of the time following a day off. The Nets very easily could end Oklahoma City’s winning streak tonight but I’m a big fan of the Thunder and those points.
