The current betting odds have the Thunder listed as a 1 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Thunder have looked really good in their games this season with their 11-4 record overall. They have also looked really good in their home games with their 6-1 home record this year and they also have a lot of momentum coming into this game with 6 wins in a row. The 76ers have also looked really good this season with their 10-5 record overall but they haven't looked as good in their games lately. Joel Embiid has been banged up lately and they have lost 2 games in a row now. Embiid could be back for this game but even if he does play, the Thunder have looked great at home all season and they are not going to make it easy for the 76ers as the Thunder have beaten some really good teams this season already. The best way to place a bet here is on the Thunder to cover the spread in this game.

“I think we put ourselves a little bit behind it with the start that we had. We turned it over. We only end up with 15 for the game, but I think six of them early, like really early." - Nick Nurse after his team’s loss against the T-Wolves in their game on Wednesday.

“It’s not football, where you just play quarterback. To have a guy as engaged and smart as he is, obviously with his length he gets deflections and blocks. He was a two-way player tonight, not just with his scoring. I thought he took what they gave him as far as early passes, getting his teammates involved." - Mark Daigneault after his team’s win against the Bulls in their game on Wednesday.
