Thunder Against the Spread | Take OKC as a Slight Underdog in Chicago

Playing in the second game of a back-to-back on the road is tough, especially when you play full minutes. OKC is doing just that, and despite a hefty win over the Sixers in Philadelphia last night, the Thunder’s main guys played their typical minutes, so they might be a little tired tonight. Still, Chicago is playing without DeMar DeRozan and perhaps Zach Lavine. Either way, unless OKC has a surprise and decides to rest Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, I think there’s a good shot the Thunder keeps rolling and grabs another win on the road.

Tonight the Thunder continues their road trip as they take on the Chicago Bulls. The Bulls are just 19-23 on the season—same as the Thunder—and they have lost two in a row. The Bulls have won 4 of their last 5 in Chicago, but they are missing DeMar DeRozan. OKC is also playing in the second game of a back-to-back, so both teams have certain odds stacked against them. In the end, this should make for a quality Friday night matchup.

Friday night is the Thunder’s third opportunity in five days to get a win in front of the home crowd, and it should make for a fun challenge as they host the Chicago Bulls. The Bulls have not capitalized on their success from last season, but they are hot off two wins against the East’s top teams in the Celtics and the Bucks. OKC will have to bring their best performance to try to put an end to Chicago’s miniature win streak.

Both teams have a similar overall winning percentage against the spread this season but Oklahoma City is a much stronger road team than Chicago is a home team. The Bulls are just 8-12-1 against the spread at home this season and the Thunder are 13-6 against the spread on the road.

Tonight, the Thunder takes on the Chicago Bulls in the first game of a 4-game road trip. The Bulls are just 17-20 on the season, but at 9th in the Eastern Conference standings, they are in position to make a push for the playoffs. OKC is short-handed once again, but like we tend to say pretty much every night around here, don’t count the Thunder out, especially with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on the floor.

After trailing by as many as 22 in the third quarter, it looked like the losing streak would continue, but Luguentz Dort and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had other plans.

Back in February, Russell Westbrook helped the Oklahoma City Thunder to overcome a 26-point deficit to defeat the Houston Rockets 117-112. Westbrook is now playing for the Rockets himself, but the Thunder are still making history, and it was Chris Paul who led the way this time as OKC tied the franchise record by overcoming a 26-point deficit to defeat the Chicago Bulls 109-106.
