Thunder vs 76ers Prediction

The 76ers have quietly covered four of their last five games, and they’ll have their chances here with all of the players OKC is sitting. The Thunder know they can win this game with their backups, so many key guys are taking the night off. The fact the Thunder are still laying double-digit chalk is nuts. Still, I have to lay it. The Thunder have the best record in the NBA, and a cover percentage of 67.1 percent is the best as well. The Thunder are 19-10-1 ATS in their last 30 games as a double-digit favorite. I’ll ignore the injury report and go with the trends. No team cashes tickets better than the Thunder. I’ll lay the points.
