Picking the Oklahoma City Thunder Over the Toronto Raptors
(Odds for the Oklahoma City Thunder ML is currently around 3.25.)
I'm leaning towards the underdog here. It might be strange why on the surface. The Toronto Raptors have the far better record and the best home record at 29-5 in the NBA. The Toronto Raptors are also riding an 11 game winning streak. The Oklahoma City Thunder are only 17-18 on the road and have a much less impressive winning streak at 5 games. However, the Oklahoma City Thunder won the first meeting in Oklahoma via blowout and new addition Corey Brewer has fit in nicely. The Oklahoma City Thunder need to win every game because the playoff race in the Western Conference is that intense. Also the Thunder have a habit of playing up to the level of competition. The Toronto Raptors will probably win but the odds for the Oklahoma City Thunder look more enticing to me...
My pick is the Oklahoma City Thunder ML.
(I am currently in the negative with my picks. Game starts in about 6 hours 25 minutes.)
You are on a roll.
Thanks. I didn't do too good in the first half of the NBA season but after the All Star Break I've been much better.
