The current betting odds have the Thunder listed as a 5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Thunder have looked really good in their games this season with their 52-22 record overall which has them right near the top of the West with one of the best records in the entire NBA right now. They have also been a great road team this year with their 23-14 road record, and they are in a tight race in the West for the number 1 seed. Meanwhile, the 76ers have also looked good in their games this season with their 40-35 record overall, but that record only has them in a play-in spot for the playoffs in the East right now after once being one of the best teams in the East early on in the season. They haven't looked nearly as good since losing their star player Joel Embiid to an injury and it has shown on their home court too with their 21-16 home record which used to be a lot better. They are coming off a win against the Raptors in their last one, but the Raptors aren't a strong team this season as they aren't going to make the playoffs and the 76ers really haven't looked that good lately as they are still just 4-6 in their last 10 games. The Thunder have been the much hotter team coming into this one with their 7-3 record in their last 10 games and they also have more momentum on their side with 2 wins in a row now against some solid teams in the NBA. The Thunder are also looking to stay in the race for the number 1 seed. The best way to place a bet here is on the Thunder to cover the spread in this game.
