Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 31.3 points and 5.4 assists, while Josh Giddey is averaging 16.3 points and 6.1 assists.

The Hornets are 3-10-2 ATS in their last 15 Tuesday games and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up win. The Thunder are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The under is 21-6 in Hornets last 27 overall. The over is 7-2-1 in Thunder last 10 overall. The Hornets are 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Oklahoma City and 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings.
The Oklahoma City Thunder should obviously be big favorites as they're fighting for playoff position and at home, while the Hornets are in full on tank mode and without key players. I get it. However, the Hornets are coming off back to back wins over the Mavs which is kind of impressive and OKC is losing its last 5 games by an average of 3.2 points. Big line, and OKC hasn't earned this sort of respect. It's Hornets or pass for me.
