The Philadelphia 76ers (25-15) will host the Oklahoma City Thunder (18-23) on Thursday. The 76ers beat the Thunder as a three-point favorite 115-96 when these teams met on New Year's Eve.
The Oklahoma City Thunder are tied with the Pacers with a 25-16 record against the spread which is the best in the NBA, and they are second with a 25-16 over/under record. Although the Thunder have been a good team for sports bettors to back, they are 13th in the Western Conference, 1.5 games out of the 10th spot.
Yet after a tough first quarter, OKC hung in there, erased an 11-point deficit and made sure this game was played within two possessions for all but 14 seconds of the entire second half. @NickAGallo and @ParisNLawson write ??https://t.co/BbhB9logAN
