Oklahoma City Thunder vs Chicago Bulls Prediction, Picks and Odds for Friday, March 27 

Garima Ranawat

The Oklahoma City Thunder are set to welcome the Chicago Bulls at home, Paycom Center  on Friday. The Thunder dominate the Western Conference as well as the league standings at 57-16, while the Chicago Bulls sit at 29-43 near the bottom in the East. Both the teams are coming off one loss each, respectively. 

The Thunder are 20.5-point favorites with moneyline at -3500 and total around 238.5 points. These NBA odds tonight suggest that the Thunder are highly likely to record a dominating win at home. We have got our Best Bet, a same-game parlay, and some favorite player props for tonight’s matchup. 

Here’s how we’re betting Thunder vs Bulls tonight.

Best Bet for Oklahoma City Thunder vs Chicago Bulls

Best Bet: Thunder -20.5 (-106)

Book: Best price on FanDuel

Our best bet for Oklahoma City Thunder vs Chicago Bulls is Thunder -20.5 (-106) against the spread.

OKC ranks eighth in offensive and first in defensive efficiency, and have solid control on homecourt. The Bulls, on the other hand, have one of the weakest records and are struggling on both ends of the court, especially away from home.

The spread at Thunder -20.5 fits the hosts well considering their rivals’ depth issues, which make it hard to keep games. Considering their overall record, homecourt advantage, efficiency edge, and current spread, we’re taking the Thunder to cover this number more often than the line implies.

Same-Game Parlay Picks for Oklahoma City Thunder vs Chicago Bulls

3-Leg SGP (Safer)

  • Leg 1: Oklahoma City Thunder -24.5 (alternate spread)
  • Leg 2: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 29.5 points 
  • Leg 3: Chet Holmgren Over 15.5 points 

Combined odds: +842

We have built this same-game parlay around the OKC Thunder to take control on the homecourt. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the engine of Thunder’s offense and we can expect him, Holmgren and other Thunders to make the most of playing at home as well as their elite on-court balance. 

These legs are correlated considering if the Thunder take control of the game right from the beginning, their players will get more scoring opportunities. This way, they will end up with more volume. Hence, this is our safer SGP option.

Top Player Prop Odds for Oklahoma City Thunder vs Chicago Bulls

Given how prop-heavy NBA betting is, we’re also eyeing these player props for tonight’s Oklahoma City Thunder vs Chicago Bulls game. 

  • Josh Giddey Over 15.5 points (-108)
  • Matas Buzelis Over 18.5 points (+102)
  • Chet Holmgren Over 8.5 rebounds (+118)

These legs fit well into usage and volume. Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis are key Bulls scorers who would aim to put up some score against the Thunder to keep themselves in the game. However, Holmgren is likely to take control of the rebounding over the weaker Bulls.
