The Oklahoma City Thunder have taken some time to find their bearings with Carmelo Anthony and Paul George on the fold but are turning it on in a big way right now and will look to extend their season-best winning streak to six games when they welcome the Toronto Raptors to town on Wednesday.
Sportsbook opened the Raps as 4-point road underdogs with a total of 208.5.
- The UNDER is 4-1 in the Thunder's last five games.
- The road team is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings between the Thunder and Raptors.
- The Raptors are 5-1 ATS in their last six games.
OKC has gone a solid 11-3 SU in December and recorded a big 112-107 win over the Houston Rockets on Christmas Day. Westbrook (31), George (24) and Anthony (20) combined for 75 points in the holiday triumph with Anthony connecting on 8-of-12 shots. Shooting guard Andre Roberson was injured in that game but practiced Tuesday and is expected to suit up tonight.
Toronto has been playing fantastic basketball of late as well but fell flat in a big way in their first post-Christmas break contest - a 98-83 road setback to the lowly Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday. The Dinos, who will be playing in the second game of a back-to-back set, shot a measly 33 percent from the field vs the Mavs.
The good news for Raptors bettors is their penchant for covering the spread in Oklahoma City. In Toronto’s last seven trips to OKC, they’re 6-1 ATS.
