76ers vs Thunder Prediction
The Thunder are massive favorites because they’re the Thunder and they’re as healthy as they’ve been in a while. We’re only seeing Sorber on the report and Jaylen Williams will return. The 76ers are banged up. On paper this game could get ugly. However, as I’ve said all year, these Thunder aren’t your cover machines they’ve been in years past. OKC is 2-8 ATS in its last 10 games and is 33-37-1 ATS on the season overall. The Thunder are 4-12 ATS in their last 16 games as a double-digit favorite. I don’t care what you think of the 76ers and their current situation; the Thunder aren’t coming through in these spots. Give me the points.
