Thunder at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Thunder 122, Jazz 112

Moneyline

AVOID.

The Thunder (-250) need a win with the Mavericks securing a victory on Wednesday night, but taking them straight up at these steep odds isn’t advised in this contest.

Against the spread

THUNDER -6.5 (-110) is the choice in this showdown with Oklahoma City desperate to sneak into the playoffs. Markkanen and a few starters are sidelined for the Jazz, while G Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and G Josh Giddey are available for the Thunder.

Oklahoma City is 4-1-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings overall between these teams and 6-2-1 ATS in the last 9 meetings in Utah.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 237.5 (-110).

Both of these teams play at a top-12 pace in the NBA, but the Jazz don’t have enough offensive firepower available Thursday to help hit the Over. The Under is also 19-7 in the last 26 meetings between these teams in Utah.

The Oklahoma City Thunder (36-37) square off against the Los Angeles Lakers (36-37) on Friday at Crypto.com Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 10:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Thunder vs. Lakers odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Thunder lost 125-107 to the Los Angeles Clippers Thursday and failed to cover as 4.5-point road underdogs. Oklahoma City is currently the No. 11 seed in the Western Conference, on the end of a 3-team tie with the No. 9 Lakers and No. 10 New Orleans Pelicans.

The Lakers covered as 1.5-point favorites in Wednesday’s 122-111 home victory vs. the Phoenix Suns. Los Angeles is sitting as the No. 9 seed in the Western Conference, on top of the 3-way tie with the Pelicans and Thunder.

Oklahoma City and Los Angeles have split their first 2 meetings this season straight up and against the spread with the road team winning and covering as an underdog in both meetings as the Over cashed twice.

Thunder at Lakers picks and predictions

Prediction

Lakers 122, Thunder 115

Moneyline

AVOID.

The Lakers (-230) are expected to come away with the victory at home on Friday, but taking them at the current odds isn’t worth the risk.

Against the spread

LEAN LAKERS -5.5 (-110).

Both teams are vying for a spot in the playoffs or a play-in spot, but the Lakers are likely more motivated to advance to the postseason. The Thunder are also playing on the 2nd leg of a back-to-back, so they could rest some of their starters on Friday.

The Lakers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games against a team with a losing road record.

Over/Under

The Over has hit in the first two meetings this season, and I’ll take OVER 232.5 (-112) for Friday’s bout. The Thunder and the Lakers are both top 3 in pace this season, which should lead to more points.

Oklahoma City is 6-1 to the Over in its last 7 games playing on 0 days of rest, while the Over is 9-4 in its last 13 meetings with Los Angeles.

Oklahoma City and Phoenix will face each other for the 2nd time this season. The teams pushed the 9-point spread as the Suns won 124-115 and the Over hit in the 1st meeting in Phoenix on Feb. 24.

Thunder at Suns picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 126, Thunder 113

Moneyline

AVOID.

The Suns should cruise to a win at home, but taking them at the current odds (-900) isn’t advised with the minimal profit you’d get if they get the victory.

Against the spread

SUNS -13.5 (-110) is where I’ll lean in this game despite the Thunder being great ATS this season. Oklahoma City has already ruled out G Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and G Jalen Williams for Wednesday’s matchup, while Phoenix is beginning to heat up with Durant in the lineup.

The Suns are also 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall.

Over/Under

OVER 233.5 (-110) is the pick in this game with the Suns being near full strength at home. Both of these teams are top 8 in offensive rating in their last 5 games overall.

The Thunder are 6-0-1 to the Over in their last 7 games overall. The Over has also been achieved in 5 of the last 7 meetings.

The Thunder handily defeated the Indiana Pacers 126-106 Wednesday to cover as 3.5-point favorites at home. Oklahoma City is amidst a 4-game winning streak.

C Domantas Sabonis (illness) questionable

For most recent updates: Official NBA injury report.

Thunder at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 122, Thunder 116

Moneyline

Assuming that Sabonis is active, KINGS (-150) is an enticing bet in this contest. The Kings are 14-9 at home compared to the Thunder being 8-14 on the road this season.

Against the spread

KINGS -3.5 (-108) is where I’m leaning if Sabonis plays Friday night. If Sabonis is ruled out, then I’d certainly consider taking the Thunder to cover the spread on the road.

The Thunder are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road meetings against the Kings and 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings. The Kings are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following an ATS win and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games overall.

Over/Under

UNDER 241.5 (-108) is where I’m leaning in this game despite the scoring potential of the Thunder and the Kings. Even though these teams are both top 6 in pace, they haven’t hit this total in the last 10 meetings.

Celtics at Thunder picks and predictions

Prediction

Celtics 121, Thunder 110

Moneyline

PASS on the moneyline in this game despite the Celtics (-380) being heavily favored and likely to win as the risk isn’t worth the return.

Against the spread

CELTICS -8.5 (-115) is a large spread, but Boston should be able to cover it on the road. While G Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been fantastic this season, the Celtics own the 7th-best defensive rating and the Thunder have the 6th-worst true-shooting percentage in the NBA.

The Thunder are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games following a loss of 10 or more points. Meanwhile, the Celtics are 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 road meetings against the Thunder.

Over/Under

Even though there are going to be a few talented scorers in this game, UNDER 233.5 (-112) appears to be the ideal choice. The Celtics are 1 of the best defensive teams in the league and outside of Gilgeous-Alexander, the Thunder don’t have a go-to scorer on the offensive end.

The Celtics are 8-1 to the Under in their last 9 road games against a team with a winning home record and 9-2-1 to the Under in their last 12 road games. The Under is also 5-2 in the last 7 meetings between the Celtics and the Thunder in Oklahoma City.

Thunder at Hornets picks and predictions

Prediction

Thunder 119, Hornets 114

Moneyline

Neither of these teams has a clear edge over the other, but I’ll take the THUNDER (-110) to win on the road. While Oklahoma City is 5-11 on the road, Charlotte is 4-11 at home this season.

Against the spread

Considering that I took Oklahoma City to secure the win, THUNDER -1.5 (-102) is where I’m leaning in this game. Oklahoma City has been 1 of the better teams at covering the spread with a 21-13 record ATS this season.

The Hornets are 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 home games against a team with a losing road record. Meanwhile, the Thunder are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road meetings with the Hornets.

Over/Under

UNDER 239.5 (-115) is an enticing bet as the total seems a bit too high. While these 2 teams are top 10 in pace, they are both bottom 8 teams in offensive rating.

The Under is 5-0 in the last 5 meetings between the Thunder and the Hornets when the game is in Charlotte. Also, the Under is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings overall.

Trail Blazers at Thunder picks and predictions

Prediction

Trail Blazers 116, Thunder 104

Moneyline

Being that the Trail Blazers are heavily favored, AVOID the moneyline in this game. The odds for Portland to win aren’t worth taking straight up considering the minimal return you’ll receive if the Trail Blazers win.

Against the spread

Even though the Thunder have done well ATS this season, TRAIL BLAZERS -7.5 (-110) is where I’m leaning in this game. Oklahoma City is 18-12 ATS while Portland is 20-10 ATS entering Monday’s matchup.

The Trail Blazers are also 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games after allowing 100-plus points in their previous game.

Over/Under

UNDER 227.5 (-110) is an enticing wager in this game with the Thunder being shorthanded. Oklahoma City will struggle to generate offense with Gilgeous-Alexander and Giddey while Portland plays at the 4th-slowest pace in the NBA.

The Thunder are 6-1 to the Under in their last 7 games. The Under is also 5-1 in the last 6 meetings and 23-9 in the last 32 meetings between the Trail Blazers and the Thunder.

Thunder at Wizards picks and predictions

Prediction

Wizards 119, Thunder 110

Moneyline

Even though I see the Wizards (-190) winning at home Wednesday, I’ll PASS on the moneyline. The Thunder have found ways to win games thus far, so taking the Wizards straight up isn’t worth the risk at the current odds.

Against the spread

WIZARDS -4.5 (-110) is where I’m going in this game, even though the Thunder are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. Washington is expected to have G Bradley Beal back in the lineup following a 5-game absence.

The Wizards went 5-0 ATS with Beal out of the lineup.

Over/Under

The Thunder are going to push the ball up the floor often as they play at the fastest pace in the NBA. Taking that into consideration, OVER 228.5 (-110) is an enticing wager in this contest.

The Thunder have hit the Over in each of their last 4 games. Meanwhile, the Over is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings between the Thunder and the Wizards in Washington.

Orlando Magic at Oklahoma City Thunder odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Orlando Magic at Oklahoma City Thunder odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Orlando Magic (1-6) take on the Oklahoma City Thunder (3-3) Tuesday at Paycom Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Magic vs. Thunder odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Magic lost 114-105 at the Dallas Mavericks Sunday, pushing as 9-point underdogs. Rookie F Paolo Banchero has been a bright spot to begin the season with 22.7 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.1 blocks per game in 7 appearances.

The Thunder have strung together 3 straight wins, including 2 wins over the Los Angeles Clippers last Tuesday and Thursday and at the Mavericks Saturday as 10.5-point underdogs (117-111). G Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continues to show why he’s considered a building block for a rebuilding Oklahoma City team as he’s averaging 31.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.2 blocks per game on 49.6% shooting from the field across his first 5 games.

Magic at Thunder picks and predictions

Prediction

Thunder 114, Magic 106

Moneyline

Go ahead and PASS on the moneyline in this game despite Oklahoma City (-150) being the slight favorites at home. I tend to avoid taking standalone bets at odds higher than -150 and I certainly don’t want to make an exception for a team like the Thunder.

Against the spread

The THUNDER -3.5 (-115) appears to be the ideal wager in this game between 2 rebuilding teams. Oklahoma City has won 3 straight contests but at any moment they could decide they need to inch closer to putting themselves in a position to take C Victor Wembanyama in next year’s draft.

That being said, the Thunder are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall and the Magic are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 meetings against the Thunder.

Over/Under

These teams haven’t been known for playing much defense in recent years and despite what the numbers say right now, I’ll take OVER 217.5 (-105) in Tuesday’s contest. The Thunder play at the 10th-fastest pace while the Magic play at the 6th-slowest pace in the NBA this season.

The Over is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings between the Magic and the Thunder in Oklahoma City.

Oklahoma City Thunder at Minnesota Timberwolves odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Oklahoma City Thunder at Minnesota Timberwolves odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Oklahoma City Thunder will take on the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Target Center Wednesday in the season opener for both teams. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Thunder vs. Timberwolves odds, and our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Thunder enter the season amid a rebuild with an extremely young roster. Oklahoma City posted a 24-58 record last season and there aren’t lofty expectations this season for a team that is focused on building its roster through the draft.

The Timberwolves have heightened expectations this season with the acquisition of C Rudy Gobert in a trade with the Utah Jazz, especially after going 46-36 a season ago. Minnesota is also expecting SG Anthony Edwards to make major strides as he enters his 3rd season in the NBA.
