The Oklahoma City Thunder play the Charlotte Hornets on Monday, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, money line odds and over/under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet.
This will be the second matchup of the season between the two squads. Last time, OKC cruised to a win on Nov. 15.
The Thunder (30-6) look to bounce back from a 108-105 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Sunday. Devin Booker scored the game-winning 3-pointer in the final seconds. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander struggled with 25 points on 8-of-22 shooting.
Meanwhile, the Hornets (12-23) enjoyed a 112-99 win over the Chicago Bulls on Saturday. Miles Bridges had 26 points and 14 rebounds in the upset victory. Much-needed for a team that’s fallen in the standings.

The blessings of a back-to-back. The Thunder can wash away the bad taste of a sour loss to the Suns less than 24 hours later. Gilgeous-Alexander had a rare stinker. This should be the perfect get-right opportunity. The Hornets are one of the NBA’s worst defenses. The reigning MVP should return to business as usual with an efficient 30-plus points. OKC has been nearly unbeatable at home. Charlotte is on the opposite side of the NBA highway. This should be a stress-free win for the reigning NBA champions.
Prediction: Thunder 122, Hornets 97
