Tip and bets
Oklahoma is not so hopeless as it seems. Thunder at least try to put up a fight to their opponents. They managed to do that in matches against Denver, Minnesota and Dallas. Thunder were beaten in these matches by no more than 11 points. We think that Oklahoma will be able to put up a fight against weakened Washington.
Our prediction - Handicap (+11) points for Oklahoma
Oklahoma has big problems with offensive performance. It is not so easy for them to score 100 points. Thunder were unable to do that in 4 out of 5 most recent matches. Taking that into account, we are not expecting a high-scoring game.
Our second bet is on total under 220,5 points
