Oklahoma City has done better against the spread this season, despite being six games under .500 overall, they are 17-14-1 ATS, while the Hawks are an even 16-16 ATS. Atlanta has alternated cover the spread and not in each of its last five games. Since we have the Thunder winning outright, take THUNDER +4.5 (-110).
