Thunder at Thunder Picks and Predictions
Prediction
thunder 116, sun 94
Avoid.
A Thunder win may be the safest bet of all first-round playoff games, but -2500 is never worth the risk.
Bet Thunder -17.5 (-105).
I thought the Suns would cover at +16.5 in Game 1, but the Thunder showed they are well rested and locked in. Phoenix doesn’t have the talent to work hard, especially on the road. Oklahoma City has covered its last 5 games in which it did not rest its starters.
Bet under 215.5 (-110).
These teams fell 14 points short of hitting the over (216.5) in Game 1. My prediction is to give the Suns 10 more points, which is generous, but still doesn’t get them much closer.
