Thunder 111, Bulls 102: On the frontend of a back-to-back, the Thunder will go all out for New York. Makes sense. They should be able to get a win over the Bulls still, who’ve recently lost 11 in a row. They’ve learned how to win regardless of who’s out. Part of the winning culture OKC has created over the years. Meanwhile, Chicago is just a bunch of random players together. No real team chemistry after the trade deadline. Think the short-handed OKC squad should have enough to come away with a good win.
ODDS: Thunder by 11.5 points
