Thunder vs. Raptors tips off at 7:00 p.m. ET on NBA League Pass. Oklahoma City is listed as a huge 15-point favorite (-15) and the total is set at over/under 230.5 at DraftKings Sportsbook.
The Thunder have been taking care of business recently, and there is little reason to expect them to struggle with this Raptors roster devoid of real NBA talent. Expect OKCs offense to dominate this Toronto defense given the fact that the Raptors rank bottom-5 in defensive rating post All-Star Break.

The current version of the Raptors might be the worst team in the NBA as they’ve failed to cover in four straight games and have posted sub-100 offensive ratings in three of those four outings.
This will be a difficult matchup for their offense as they take on a Thunder defense ranked sixth in adjusted defensive rating on the season according to dunksandthrees.com.
The Raptors offense biggest challenge will be avoiding turnovers as that has been their biggest issue over their last three games — having turned the ball over on more than 15% of their possessions each of their last three.
The Thunder defense specializes in forcing turnovers — ranking first in defensive turnover rate (15.7%) on the season.
Expect the Raptors offense to struggle once again here.

Betting Pick & Prediction
I’ll take the Thunder at -15 given the state of this Raptors roster and the fact that there seems to be little-to-no path to competitive play for Toronto.
The Thunder should win the possession battle by a massive margin and cover the spread in this contest.
Pick: Thunder -15 (-110)
