Prediction
As well as Milwaukee has been playing after a dismal 2-8 start, they’re no match for this red-hot OKC team. The Thunder are 20-5 on the season and are the best team in the West. And they’re doing it all without star center Chet Holmgren. Oklahoma City has won and covered six in a row and have the best defense in the league. Number one in points allowed, defensive field goal percentage and defensive 3-pt percentage. Despite winning eight of their last 10, Milwaukee has only covered the spread in half of those games. The Thunder are 8-3-1 ATS away from home this season and they looked pretty good in Vegas on Saturday. I’ll lay the points.
Pick: Thunder -5
