Wizards at Thunder picks and predictions

Prediction

Thunder 129, Wizards 113

Moneyline

PASS.

OKC (-1600) should pick up the win here, but the Thunder are not worth the risk of betting on as such heavy favorites. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

LEAN THUNDER -15.5 (-110).

OKC has covered the spread in 3 consecutive games and the Thunder have been the better ATS team this season, going 34-21 while the Wizards are 26-27-2. Oklahoma City is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 meetings with Washington.

This is only a lean because Washington has been better ATS lately and because the Wizards covered in their 1st matchup vs. the Thunder.

Over/Under

BET OVER 241.5 (-110).

The Over has hit in 7 consecutive games for OKC and is 33-22 for the Thunder this season. For Washington, the Over has hit in back-to-back outings. The Over has also hit in 4 consecutive Washington-OKC matchups and is 6-4 in the last 10 meetings overall.
