Thunder vs Raptors Prediction

The current betting odds have the Thunder listed as a 1.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Thunder have looked great in their games this season with their 44-14 record overall which has them right at the top of the West with the best record in the entire NBA. They have been a great road team too with their 20-7 road record this year. Meanwhile, the Raptors have looked good in their games this season with their 34-23 record overall which has them in the top half of the East. They have looked good on their home court too with their 16-13 home record this season. The Raptors are 6-4 in their last 10 games and they have won 2 games in a row now, but they have also been beating up on bad teams lately and they have been doing that all season. They have been great against the bad teams in the NBA, but they have struggled all year against top opponents, and they have actually been a better road team this season than they have been a home team. The Thunder haven't been at their best lately as they deal with some key injuries, but they are still 6-4 in their last 10 games and coming off a win over the Cavaliers in their last one. They have been the best team in the NBA over the last 2 years and they continue to find ways to win games this season, even when they don't have their best players. They also have some momentum on their side with 2 wins in a row now and they are going to bring their best effort for a team that beat them at home in their last meeting. The Thunder have the talent to win this game without their best players, especially against a Raptors team that has struggled with top teams all year. The best way to place a bet here is on the Thunder to cover the spread in this game.
