Cavaliers vs. Thunder Prediction

You can make a case for the Cavs and the free bucket as OKC remains banged up. The Thunder are still down Williams, Holmgren, and Caruso. However, we just saw the Thunder beat the Cavs two days ago on the road as a 4.5-point underdog. The Cavs also haven’t made anybody money dating back to last season, and that includes a 2-5 ATS record this season. With this game now in OKC,

I have to lean toward the Thunder and the small chalk. The Cavaliers don’t cash tickets, and until they do, I can’t get behind them. It’s OKC or pass for me on Wednesday night.
