Thunder at Raptors picks and predictions
Prediction
Raptors 119, Thunder 116
Moneyline
PASS.
The Raptors (-230) are 21-13 at home and the odds are justifiable, but you shouldn’t risk more than 2 times your potential return on a moneyline wager.
Against the spread
BET THUNDER +5.5 (-105).
The Thunder have been moneymakers against the spread this season with a 41-25-3 ATS record and they have been hot recently too. Oklahoma City is 6-1 ATS in its last 7 games, 4-0 ATS in its last 4 games playing on 1 day of rest, 19-11-3 ATS on the road and 9-5-1 ATS as a 5-7-point underdog.
The Raptors are just 2-5 ATS this season as 5-7-point favorites.
Over/Under
LEAN OVER 231.5 (-105).
The Thunder are 40-28-1 O/U while the Raptors are 39-30 O/U. Both teams have a tendency to push the pace of the game and score a lot of points.
The Over is 5-1 in the Raptors’ last 6 games, 6-0 in their last 6 following an outright win of 10 or more points and 5-1 in their last 6 after scoring 100 or more points in their previous outing.
