Am I missing something? OKC has the better record, dominated the Raptors when they played in November, and is playing like the better team as of late. I’m not sure how Toronto is a favorite, let alone by 6 points, so I feel like taking OKC to cover is easy. Taking the Thunder to win, however, is smart.

The two teams have had different results lately, though. OKC has won 6 of their 7 last, and Toronto has dropped 5 of their last 8. The Raptors are favored in tonight’s meeting, but the Thunder has played some really solid basketball lately, so I expect that this one will come down to the wire.

While OKC’s record at covering the spread (6-5) isn’t spectacular, they have definitely played every opponent close so far. Toronto is missing their best player in Pascal Siakim, and I think that is enough to not only give the Thunder a good chance to cover, but to win the game.

Oklahoma City has covered the spread as an underdog consistently overall and on the road, but on top of that, history tells us this game will be close. In the last 4 meetings between the Thunder and the Raptors at Scotiabank Arena, the game has been decided by no more than 7 points. Based on that, the Thunder’s ability to cover the spread, and the Raptors’ struggles to cover at home, I think OKC will keep this one close.

The Oklahoma City Thunder tank session is in full swing, but that doesn’t mean the good guys won’t pick up a win every now and then. After a 21-point drubbing by the Dallas Mavericks on Monday night, the Thunder will have a much better shot at a win tonight as they host the Toronto Raptors.
