For both teams. The Thunder will be without Williams with a hamstring strain. Oh, and Hartenstein still. The Cavaliers will be without Garland with a nagging toe injury. Both teams have played better recently. Unfortunately for OKC, this feels like a nightmare matchup where it&#8217;ll be dominated on the boards once again. Gilgeous-Alexander should put up an efficient 30-plus points, but it&#8217;s difficult to imagine someone else stepping up as a viable go-to scorer. This should be a close game, but Cleveland will come away with the signature win.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">ODDS: Thunder by 6.5 points<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">O\/U: 234.5<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">All <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.betmgm.com\/en\/sports\/basketball-7\/betting\/usa-9\/nba-6004\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NBA Odds<\/a> via BetMGM.<\/p>\n<p>Thunder 2025-26 scheduleWednesday, Jan. 21 at BucksFriday, Jan. 23 vs. PacersSunday, Jan. 25 vs. Raptors<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">We occasionally recommend interesting products and services.
