Thunder Against the Spread | OKC is a Heavy Favorite (Again) at Home Against the Pistons

Call me a glutton for punishment; that’s fine. For the third game in a row, OKC is a heavy favorite against a seriously depleted team, and in this case, it’s the Pistons, who have the league’s worst record. Even without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Thunder should be able to win this one by a heavy margin. I think last night’s loss should be more than enough fuel for OKC to come out and pick up a big win, so I’m taking the Thunder to win by double digits.

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.

Thunder Against the Spread | Cautiously Take OKC to Cover Big Spread

Zachary LowMarch 28, 2023 No Comments Charlotte Hornets Oklahoma City Thunder Oklahoma Sooners Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

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.

Thunder Against the Spread | Expect a Big Win for OKC in Portland

Zachary LowMarch 26, 2023 No Comments Damian Lillard Oklahoma Sooners Portland Trail Blazers Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

OKC must win this game at all costs. Portland is severely depleted, and the Thunder is as close to full-strength as they have been all season. OKC hasn’t been favored by this much in a long time, but I’m anticipating a large margin of victory.

The Oklahoma City Thunder wraps up a 4-game West Coast road trip on Sunday evening as they take on the depleted Portland Trail Blazers. OKC is 1-2 so far on the road trip, defeating the Los Angeles Clippers in a tight one last Tuesday before getting blown out by them on Thursday followed by another tight loss in LA against the Lakers.

Thunder Against the Spread | OKC Needs to Beat Lakers in SEGABABA

OKC and LA are tied in the Western Conference standings right now, along with the Mavericks and the Pelicans. Because of tiebreakers, however, the Lakers are in 9th place while the Thunder is in 11th. With just 9 games left in the season, literally every game is going to change up who is in a playoff spot and who isn’t. While both teams really need to win, the Thunder REALLY needs to win this one. OKC has not been in a “must-win” situation for years, but this meeting probably qualifies. With that in mind, I’m taking OKC to at least cover if not outright win the game as well.

The Oklahoma City Thunder is 1-1 so far on their West Coast road trip, splitting games with the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday and Thursday night, and now they look to take on the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night. After dropping a 127-105 decision last night, OKC needs to get back on the winning side of things to improve their chances at making the playoffs.

Oklahoma begins the chase towards an unprecedented 11th consecutive Big 12 regular season title. The program holds a conference record of 161-15 the past 10 seasons and has not lost a Big 12 series since 2011.

Thunder Against the Spread | No Paul George Means OKC Should Cover Against Clips Again

Zachary LowMarch 23, 2023 No Comments Kawhi Leonard Los Angeles Clippers Luguentz Dort Oklahoma Sooners Paul George Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

It’s been just two days, so not a lot has changed in this matchup except for the fact that Paul George is out of this one with a sprained knee. That’s a big blow for the Clippers on both sides of the ball. Still, it’s tough to beat a good team over and over again, particularly twice in a couple of days. A good coach like Ty Lue is extremely capable of making adjustments, and that could very well be enough to win this game. Still, I think OKC can pull out another win tonight, so I’m taking them to cover the spread.
