The Thunder are coming into this game coming off of a recent hot streak but they have now lost 2 straight games and have been cooling down as they have not even scored over 100 points in 2 of their last 3 games. They are going up against a Raptors team that has actually been heating up recently winning 7 of their last 8 games. The Thunder are still missing their best player here, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and they have been trying to stay competitive with Lu Dort carrying most of the load but the Raptors will be too much for them here. The Raptors have been staying healthy recently and it has been a difference maker as they have been heating up a lot and now find themselves in 6th place in the Eastern Conference after having a losing record just a few weeks ago. The Raptors are playing with a chip on their shoulder and now that they have put themselves into a playoff spot, they will continue to heat up and only get better as the season goes on. The Thunder are one of the worst teams in the NBA and taking on the Raptors at the worst time here. The Raptors will win this game by double digits.
