Oklahoma City Thunder vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction
The Thunder are still missing Alex Caruso and Ajay Mitchell, while the Hawks have ruled out Larry Nance Jr and Jalen Johnson once again. The Thunder come into this meeting as one of the hottest teams in the league. They are getting into a bad habit of falling behind early, but that still hasn’t stopped them from racking up wins on a nightly basis. In contrast, the Hawks have been doing it tough lately and they just got trounced by the slumping Heat in their last outing. The line was always going to be hefty for this matchup, but it still isn’t enough to sway me from taking this Thunder team who are as healthy as they’ve been all season.
