Thunder Against the Spread | OKC Looks Good as Slight Home Underdog to Hawks

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 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 Oklahoma City Thunder picked up a 134-131 overtime win on Monday in Portland against the Trail Blazers, a puzzling move whenever you’re technically TRYING to lose in an attempt to finish with the best lottery odds at the top overall pick. Even with a diminished roster, the Thunder continues to stay competitive, but that “accidentally winning” likely won’t be a problem tonight as the short-handed Thunder hosts the Atlanta Hawks.

Atlanta is outscoring opponents by an average of 115.6-104.1 at home this season which is a margin that’s right at the 11.5 margin for tonight. OKC is riding a hot hand against the spread right now, covering in eight of the last ten games, and that’s a good reason to stick with them again tonight.

Oklahoma City didn’t get off to a great start on this road trip with a 123-102 loss at Chicago. Trying to figure out the trends of this team against the spread has been mind-numbing this season but this should should be a bounce back night for the Thunder.

The Oklahoma City Thunder is 2-2 since returning from the NBA All-Star Break, but both losses have been by 20+ points to Eastern Conference teams fighting for a playoff spot. Tonight, the Thunder takes on the Hawks in Atlanta, and they have been one of the hottest teams in the league lately.

Thunder Against The Spread | OKC Looks Good At +5

I don’t love the Thunder here but I do like them. Atlanta has an overall better record against the spread on the road (8-7) than Oklahoma City does at home (6-9) but the Hawks are only 7-8 against the spread this season while the Thunder have made a living as underdogs (16-14).
