The Philadelphia 76ers are on the end of a back to back, and they’ve been a bit sloppy over the last two weeks, which includes losing to the Grizzlies last night. The Oklahoma City Thunder are rested, have shown promise here and there, and they’re a sneaky good team that competes and is led by a dawg in Gilgeous-Alexander. The Thunder have value with the free bucket here at home. I’ll take it.
