The Oklahoma City Thunder hosts the Atlanta Hawks at home next in the NBA. While OKC is cruising through, the rising Spurs, despite their slip-ups, threaten their 1st-seed spot. However, the Thunder has a chance to extend its PCT against a Hawks side that has the second-worst running streak (six losses). Let's get into this match prediction!

OKC just thrashed the 76ers 129-104 to extend their record to 27-5 in 32 games. However, their performances have dipped in recent games, with two losses in their last three and four defeats in the last seven games. Although three of those four defeats were to the second-placed Spurs alone, who are now closing in with a 23-8 record and a game in hand.

OKC already beat the Hawks 117-100 earlier this season and will be looking to strike twice with another commanding victory. However, Atlanta entered this game with even more desperation. The Hawks have not only lost their last six games, but now sit at 10th place.

Atlanta may soon look to lose that final playoff qualification spot to the rising Bucks, who just got Giannis back. Atlanta received a boost with Trae Young’s return, but they've lost every game since his comeback.
