The Oklahoma City Thunder need a win after losing six of their last seven games.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 23.7 points and 4.7 rebounds while Luguentz Dort is averaging 12.6 points and 3.4 rebounds.

The Hornets are 13-6-1 ATS in their last 20 Wednesday games and 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games overall. The Thunder are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The under is 12-2 in Hornets last 14 overall. The over is 8-2 in Thunder last 10 home games. The Hornets are 3-8-1 ATS in the last 12 meetings in Oklahoma City and 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
The Charlotte Hornets aren't a team I'm thrilled to lay chalk with given their best players are out, but they still have some talent on the court and their situation is better than OKC right now. The Oklahoma City Thunder are missing a chunk of their roster due to injuries, and they're losing their last five games by an average of 24 points while shooting 41.8 percent from the field. OKC is 9-15-1 against the spread at home. I can't back the Thunder in their current form. It's Hornets and the chalk or pass.
