The Thunder is coming off a rough 117-114 loss at home to the Indiana Pacers on Friday night, whereas the Raptors are riding a 3-game road win streak.

Thunder Against the Spread | OKC Looks to Bounce Back As a Double-Digit Home Favorite Against Raptors
Dropping a game at home to the Indiana Pacers might be about as low as it gets for the Thunder’s season, even when dealing with injuries and just returning home from a long road trip. OKC does a great job at bouncing back after a loss, though, and I just don’t see them losing back-to-back at home. This should be a methodical win, slowly growing the lead in the first half, before delivering a heavy blow in the third quarter. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will have another nice game, Chet Holmgren will keep rolling as he has been, and SOMEBODY else will actually hit some shots for OKC.

Thunder Against the Spread | OKC Nearly a Double-Digit Favorite Over Raptors in Toronto
Looking at their record, the Raptors are not a great team. However, their mark of 7-15 is slightly deceiving. Toronto’s margin of defeat is in the top half of the league, and despite being an underdog in all 22 of their games so far, they cover the spread twice as often as they don’t. Still, OKC appears to matchup with the Raptors extremely well, and as a result, I think the Thunder continues rolling after a big win over Utah on Tuesday.

Oklahoma City Thunder | Game #69 Preview: Toronto Raptors
The Oklahoma City Thunder survived the injured Utah Jazz in OKC on Wednesday behind an impressive 35 points, 14 rebounds, and 3 blocks by Chet Holmgren to come away with a 119-107 victory over the Jazz. Holmgren continues to be a solid piece next to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams, and the Thunder appear to be gearing up for a quality postseason.
