Our Oklahoma City Thunder vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction

Oklahoma City is the significant favorite in this game; however, Charlotte still looks to be the best betting option. The Thunder have been the best team in the NBA this season, but have struggled recently, having won just six of their last 10 games. The Thunder are also coming off a narrow loss to the Suns, so with this being a back-to-back, they could have some tired legs.

Charlotte, on the other hand, has not been good on the road, having won five of their 18 games. That said, they have done a good job at keeping games close, having not lost by more than 10 points since mid-December.

Therefore, with the Thunder showing signs of regression recently, our Oklahoma City Thunder vs Charlotte Hornets prediction is: Charlotte Hornets +15.5.

Prediction:

 

Charlotte Hornets +15.5
