OKC actually opened up as a 1-point favorite in this matchup, but they have since gone up and down to finally settle as a slight underdog. I believe these two teams are pretty evenly matched, despite the fact that the Hawks have an advantage in their frontcourt. Regardless, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has played like a top-10 player this season, and I think he will look like the best player on the court tonight. I’m taking OKC to win this one.

OKC Thunder | Game #48 Preview: Atlanta Hawks
OKC looks to stay hot on Wednesday night as they host the Atlanta Hawks, who have lost two in a row after winning 5 straight. The Hawks currently sit in 8th place in the Eastern Conference standings with a 24-24 record, just a half-game ahead of the Indiana Pacers, but a game and a half behind the New York Knicks.

This is a tough one. OKC is playing pretty good basketball; even when they lose, it’s close. Atlanta has looked very back and forth, but with a talented backcourt of Trae Young and Dejounte Murray, they matchup well with OKC. I think this will be a fun close game.

The Spurs are lacking a true superstar, but Dejounte Murray has proven himself as an elite playmaker, putting up 20.8 points, 8.4 assists, and 9.4 rebounds per game. San Antonio also has five other players that average double-digit scoring, and collectively, the Spurs are 8th in the NBA in scoring.

Tonight, the Thunder continues their long road trip as they take on the Spurs in San Antonio. The Spurs have had their own tough season thus far, struggling their way to a 16-28 record. At this point, they’re just a few games out of a spot for the play-in tournament, and there’s still plenty of season left, but they don’t really have a roster that’s built to compete.

Fresh off its first home win of the season, OKC comes home to face a San Antonio team that has had it’s share of struggles this season as well. Despite a losing record, the Spurs have been very good against the spread on the road, including a 1-0 record as a road favorite. That said, the Thunder are coving 66% of the time as a home dog and are 4-4 overall as an underdog this season.

I’m not saying that I’m giving up on the Thunder here but they are slowly losing that road warrior stigma that they had so strongly just a month back. Oklahoma City has lost three of the last four games, against the spread, on the road and last night’s loss to an undermanned Dallas team is enough to make me believe that a Spurs team absent of Rudy Gay and possibly LaMarcus Aldridge could cover as a favorite against the Thunder as well.
