The Oklahoma City Thunder will look to give fans an early Christmas present on Monday night as they host the Washington Wizards. The Wizards are just 5-22 on the season, and OKC is nearly a 20-point favorite as Washington is missing their best player in Kyle Kuzma.
OKC is covering the spread 60% of the time, which isn’t bad, but it’s not great. Washington, on the other hand, is covering at just a 36% rate, and that’s because they’ve already suffered a lot of really bad losses. 12 of their 22 defeats have been by at least 19 points, so it makes sense that the best defense in the league should be able to cover that difference against the worst team in the NBA. This spread will likely be decided in garbage time minutes, which means I’m taking OKC’s depth over whoever Washington decides to have on the floor at that time.

For just the third time this season, OKC has lost two games in a row. They have yet to drop three in a row, and it’s doubtful to happen tonight as the Thunder continues their road trip in Washington, D.C. against the Wizards. The Wizards are on a 4-game losing streak and are just 6-29 on the season. Their third-worst +/- of -10.9 is due to their 17 losses by double digits, 13 of which have been by at least 16 points.
