76ers at Thunder picks and predictionsPrediction
Thunder 123, 76ers 109
PASS.
Avoid this play as the Thunder (-1100) should win easily, but are too pricey to consider.
BET 76ERS +15.5 (-110).
The 76ers have too much talent to be this much of an underdog. They have gone 5-1 ATS in their last 6 away games and are 1-0 ATS as a double-digit underdog.
The Thunder have struggled as of late, primarily against the Spurs, who have handed them 3 of their 5 defeats. Oklahoma City has scored 119 points or fewer in 5 of its last 6 games, suggesting it might struggle to separate by this size of a margin.
Take 76ERS +15.5 (-110).
BET OVER 226.5 (-105).
Both teams have capable scorers and have slight Over trends. The Thunder have gone Over in 7 of their last 12 games, scoring at least 119 points in 8 of those contests.
The 76ers are 3-2 O/U in their last 5 games and have scored at least 115 points in 4 of their previous 6 battles. With that in mind, take OVER 226.5 (-105).
