The Oklahoma City Thunder (12-1) will look to continue their dominate start to the season when they head into Charlotte to take on the Hornets (4-8) Saturday evening. The defending champions have been uber impressive starting out this way and doing so without their 2nd best player in Jalen Williams. Shai has been looking like he wants to repeat as MVP as he is averaging 32.5 points per game and 6.6 assists per game. He and the Thunder suffered their 1st loss of the season a little over a week ago to the Portland Trailblazers, but went on to win their next 4 games by an average of 24.5 points. Things have not been as exciting for this Hornets team. They have lost 5 of their 7 games in November and are dealing with some internal turmoil as it seems LaMelo Ball may be working his way out of the franchise. That said, he is still playing great basketball. He is averaging 22.3 points, 7.1 boards, and 9.9 assists per game. Rookie, Kon Knueppel has been very strong through this early part of the season. He is shooting over 40% from deep and averages almost 18 points per game and just over 6 boards per game. They will need both stars to have their best in order to fight off the defending champions in this one.Limited Offer. Currently at DraftKings

Our Charlotte Hornets vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction
This spread looks intimidating when you are laying over 15 points, but this Thunder team just flat out blows out opponents. The Hornets have hung around in some of their losses but we do not see that being the case in this one. The Thunder are just too strong and are playing this game on multiple days rest. Unless the Hornets shoot over 50% from the field in this one, we like the Thunder to take care of business and cover here on the road.
Our prediction for Charlotte Hornets vs Oklahoma City Thunder: Oklahoma City -15.5
