BTB Betting Pick
The Thunder are favored by 21 points against the Wizards. Given the Thunder’s strong defensive stats, allowing only 107.5 points per game, and the Wizards’ struggles, allowing 123.7 points per game, the Thunder are likely to cover the spread. The projected score is Thunder 130, Wizards 105.
