Thunder at 76ers and predictions
Prediction
Thunder 118, 76ers 103
Moneyline
There’s no play here. The Thunder are far and away the better team. The Sixers have no inside presence with Drummond and Embiid out. So I’m going to take ISAIAH HARTENSTEIN DOUBLE-DOUBLE (-110). He’s averaging 11.9 PPG and 12 RPG.
Against the spread
I generally avoid this big of a spread, but OKC is 8-2 ATS over the last 10 games despite being favored in most of them. They’re 26-10-3 on the season, and I see no reason Philly stays in this.
Take the THUNDER -11.5 (-105).
Over/Under
The Sixers are 6-4 O/U in their last 10 games, and OKC is 5-4-1. The real question to me is can the Sixers score 100 points or more to cash an Over? OKC has a great defense, but they’ve held opponents under 100 points in 4 of the last 10 games, and I think this will sneak over.
Take the OVER 218.5 (-115).
