- Analysis
- The Thunder are coming into this game with a 4-2 record this season and they have not been playing well in their recent games. They had a very strong start to the season at 4-0, but they have lost their last 2 straight games and have not played well since losing 2 key starters. They lost both of those games by 20+ points to the Mavericks and the Rockets. Their defense has struggled in both games as they allowed 199+ points in each and their offense has been much worse as well. They have been held under 100 points in each of their last 2 games as their offense has struggled without those 2 starters, but their offense has also struggled all season as they have been held under 100 points in 3 of their last 5 games as well, getting held under 110 points in 4 of those. They are going up against a Cavaliers team that is 4-2 this season and they have been playing very well recently. They have won 3 of their last 4 games with their only loss in that span coming by 3 points on the road against the Hawks in the 2nd game of a B2B, but they bounced back in their last game with a 136-111 win on the road against the Bucks. Their offense has been on fire this season as they have scored 120+ points in 4 of their last 5 games and their defense has not been that bad either, holding opponents under 115 points in their last 3 straight games. The Thunder are still trying to figure out their lineup without 2 key starters and this is a good spot for the Cavaliers at home who have been in rhythm recently. The Cavaliers will cover the spread in this game.
