76ers at Thunder picks and predictions

Prediction

Thunder 118, 76ers 115

Moneyline

The THUNDER (+102) are the hotter team and have won 6 games in a row, including a victory over the Phoenix Suns and 2 over the Golden State Warriors. Philadelphia has lost 2 in a row, and Embiid, who is listed on the injury report, may not be 100% either.

OKC has the size in the paint to handle Embiid and the quickness on the perimeter to tame G Tyrese Maxey. The 76ers are 4-2 on the road and have yet to beat a team in playoff position away from home. The Thunder should be able to come out on top.

Take THUNDER (+102).

Against the spread

PASS.

Take the moneyline instead of spread here.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 229 (-110).

The Thunder are 3-1 O/U over their last 4 games and 8-7 O/U on the season. They have scored 128 or more in 3 of their last 4 and have hit at least 116 in their last 5.

The 76ers are 8-6-1 O/U on the season and 4-2-1 O/U over their last 7. The Thunder sit 9th in pace, and the 76ers rank 14th in pace. The game should be played at a fast tempo. Take OVER 229 (-110).
