Thunder at Raptors picks and predictions
Prediction
Thunder 117, Raptors 109
Moneyline
PASS.
There is no value in the Thunder (-1400), who are 7-3 in their last 10 games, to beat the Raptors, who are 1-9 in their last 10.
Against the spread
BET RAPTORS +15.5 (-115).
While the Thunder are playing much better basketball than the Raptors, 15.5 points is too steep of a spread to be confident betting the favorites. The Thunder are just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games, including 0-4 ATS in their last 4. They are just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as double-digit favorites, whereas Toronto is 4-3 ATS in its last 7 as a double-digit underdog.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 230.5 (-110).
OKC has held opponents to 112 or fewer points with the Under hitting in 4 of its last 6 games.
It faces a Toronto team that has hit the Under in 7 of its last 10 games, including each of its last 4. The Raptors have scored 104 or fewer points in 4 straight games and 111 or fewer in 7 straight. They have allowed 113 or fewer points in 3 of their last 4 games.
