Thunder at Raptors: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Raptors 121, Thunder 108
Money line (ML)
The Thunder are playing very poorly, not scoring much and are giving up a ton of points. They have lost by double digits in eight of the games in their losing streak. They are 18-36 overall as an underdog.
Toronto is 15-16 when favored. It would be foolish to pick the Thunder to win on the money line based on how they are playing, but there is no value on the Raptors, as you have to wager more than six times your potential gains. Look to the spread and the total.

Against the spread (ATS)
The Thunder have only covered the spread once in their nine-game losing streak. They are 2-11 ATS in their last 13 games. Toronto has one of the worst ATS records in the league at 24-33 ATS but they are 3-2 ATS in their last five games.
The Raptors have not been favored by this many points in any game this season. Take the RAPTORS -11.5 (-110).
Over/Under (O/U)
The Thunder are allowing 125.2 points per game in their losing streak. The Raptors have had their games go over the total in five of the last seven games.
They have the seventh-highest Over percentage in the league at 56.1%. Take OVER 219.5 POINTS (-110).
