Thunder at 76ers picks and predictions
Prediction
76ers 123, Thunder 116
Moneyline
PASS.
Philadelphia ML (-475) is priced too high considering the Thunder have won 3 of 5 games since the last meeting on Dec. 31. Bet the spread or total instead.
Against the spread
BET THUNDER +9.5 (-108).
The market is undervaluing the Thunder in this spot. Philadelphia should have a tough time defeating Oklahoma City by double-digits twice in 2 weeks. The 76ers’ focus may also be questionable after 2 easy wins vs. the Pistons by a combined 43 points. The Thunder will come in extra motivated to bounce back after a late collapse at Miami and to get revenge for the New Year’s Eve blowout. Take the points.
Over/Under
BET OVER 232.5 (-112).
The Over is 5-0 in Oklahoma City’s last 5 games and 5-0 in Philadelphia’s last 5. Philadelphia should help the Over hit Thursday as it’s been 1 of the best teams offensively as of late, while also underperforming on defense. The 76ers are 2nd in points over the last 3 games with an average of 127.3 and have allowed the 8th-highest shooting percentage (49.2%) over that same span.
