What to Know
This Wednesday, the Oklahoma City Thunder are hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 115.51 points per game. They will take on the Atlanta Hawks at 8 p.m. ET Wednesday at Paycom Center after having had a few days off. Oklahoma City should still be feeling good after a win, while Atlanta will be looking to regain their footing.
It was a close one, but on Sunday the Thunder sidestepped the Denver Nuggets for a 101-99 victory. It was another big night for Oklahoma City’s shooting guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who had 34 points and five assists in addition to five rebounds.
Meanwhile, the matchup between Atlanta and the Chicago Bulls on Monday was not particularly close, with Atlanta falling 111-100. The top scorers for the Hawks were point guard Trae Young (21 points) and point guard Dejounte Murray (20 points).
Barring any buzzer beaters, Oklahoma City is expected to win a tight contest. They are currently nine-for-nine against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.
The Thunder’s win brought them up to 23-24 while Atlanta’s defeat pulled them down to 24-24. Oklahoma City is 12-10 after wins this year, and Atlanta is 13-10 after losses.
