The Philadelphia 76ers have been sloppy with the ball as of late, and they're on the end of a back to back. The Oklahoma City Thunder are quietly playing some of their best ball recently, and they're at their best at home, where they win by an average of 2.2 points. This is a tricky game for the 76ers, and we could see some tired legs as this OKC team wants to play with pace. I'll take my chances with the home dog.
