Toronto Raptors vs Oklahoma City Thunder prediction

The Toronto Raptors are watching their season spiral out of control, and I have no motivation to get behind them in this current form. The Raptors have serious offensive issues during this losing stretch, and they've failed to cover 7 of their last 10 games, which doesn't help matters. The Oklahoma City Thunder are also 31-18 ATS on the season, which makes them the second best covering team in the NBA. Only the Magic have covered more games than OKC. Thick number, but I'll follow the trends and lay the points with the Thunder at home.
