Thunder vs 76ers Prediction & Pick
Although the Thunder are favored to be victorious, don't count on that being a lock. Oklahoma City looked bad in multiple areas against Memphis, shooting only 29.4% from the three-point line while turning the ball over 20 times. The Thunder were also outscored in every frame except the second quarter.
The 76ers, on the other hand, showed a lot of heart by fighting by against the Jazz despite trailing by 14 points after the first quarter. Another bright spot was that five Philadelphia players finished with double-digit point total s, highlighting the team's ability to spread out the workload.
I won't be surprised if this is a back-and-forth affair, but the 76ers' depth and never-say-die attitude will help them succeed in the end.
Final Score Prediction:'76ers: 95 | Thunder: 93
Thunder vs 76ers Best Bet
With the amount of talent on both sides, I'm going with the Over on the 184.5-point total as the best bet. These two teams haven't had issues putting up points thus far in the Summer League as the 76ers are ave raging 88.0 PPG while the Thunder are operating at a 90.5 PPG clip.
With this matchup being both teams' last chance at building momentum before the Las Vegas Summer League, expect an elevated effort from everyone involved.
