Thunder at Cavaliers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Thunder 103, Cavaliers 96
Money line (ML)
The THUNDER (-140) are coming off a 98-85 loss at Milwaukee on Friday, their lowest scoring total since just 80 points on New Year’s Eve against the New Orleans Pelicans in OKC.
Still, Oklahoma City is a good play on the money line against Cleveland, a team that is on a nine-game losing streak after showing some signs of life earlier in the season.

Against the spread (ATS)
The THUNDER -2.5 (-110) will look to add to the woes of the Cavaliers +2.5 (-110). Cleveland is on an amazing 0-12 ATS slide, last covering Jan. 27 in a 122-107 home win against the Detroit Pistons.
OKC enters on an 0-3 SU/ATS slide themselves, but they should be able to push past a Cleveland side which is in complete disarray.
Over/Under (O/U)
The UNDER 219.5 (-110) is the play here. Cleveland has scored just 103.9 PPG, ranking 29th out of 30 teams. After playing some good D early in the season, the Cavs are allowing 113.2 PPG to rank 22nd in the league.
OKC has trouble putting the ball in the hoop, too, scoring just 106.9 PPG. The Thunder have hit the Under in four of the past five games, while the Cavs have hit the Under in the past two after a four-game Over run.
