The Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a> will host the Charlotte Hornets<\/a> on Monday. This will be the second matchup of the season between the two squads. Last time, OKC cruised to a win<\/a> on Nov. 15.<\/p>\n

The Thunder (30-6) look to bounce back from a 108-105 loss<\/a> to the Phoenix Suns<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Hornets (12-23) enjoyed a 112-99 win over the Chicago Bulls<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

Thunder 122, Hornets 97: 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.<\/p>\n

ODDS: Thunder by 15.5 points<\/p>\n
