The most anticipated game on Thursday will undoubtedly be the Thunder versus the Cavaliers scheduled to be played tonight in Oklahoma City at the Paycom Center, as it is the Eastern Conference leader facing the Western Conference leader, and where the best record in the NBA is at stake.

The Thunder could not beat the Cavaliers on January 8 when they faced them in Cleveland. In a game they would end up losing 122-129 despite 31 points from Gilgeous-Alexander. After that loss and having won the next three games, the electric Thunder team will have a quick rematch against the Cavs this time at home, after they had been underdogs by 2.5 points in the bookies in that game.

Both teams have won 9 of the last 10 games, the Cavavliers are coming off a two-game series against the Pacers against whom they won on the road but lost at home. Cutting off the Pacers' chances of taking easy three-pointers, while they themselves shot 44 three-point attempts, eventually led the Cavaliers to a 127-117 victory, once again covering the spread at the betting sites.
