Recommended Bet and Odds 

Recommended Bet FanDuel BetMGM
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 31.5 points -102

Analysis and Rationale 

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been leading the Thunder with his offensive prowess this NBA season as well. He has been dropping 32.1 points on an average with 4.9 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game. SGA is shooting 55.1% from the field and 42.5% from the three-point range. 

In the most recent loss, the reigning MVP was restricted to 22 points only. However, he has had four straight 30+ point performances in the last five games. In addition to it, SGA has been absolutely dominating at home, scoring 31.9 points, while shooting 55.4% at home and 39.7% from the deep. 

Considering the fact that the Thunder own homecourt advantage in the upcoming game, as well their league-best defensive rating, we expect SGA to score 32 points or more on Sunday. 

Oklahoma City Thunder vs Philadelphia 76ers Predictions

After lifting their first NBA trophy as Thunder last season, the reigning champions entered the current season with the same energy and intention of repeating their heroics. While they have been strong all season long, the Thunder recently suffered two consecutive losses. It goes without saying that they wouldn’t want to go down 3-0 and will try to bounce back against the Sixers. 

The Thunder are scoring second-highest points in the league at 121.3, while allowing the least points in the league at 107.4. In addition to it, their offensive rating dropped to sixth spot in the league with 118.2, while they still continue to dominate the league in defensive rating at 104.6. It implies that while Oklahoma City maintains an elite defense, it needs to get back on track in terms of offense. 

On the other hand, the Philadelphia 76ers have also been playing good basketball this season. However, everytime they aim to bounce back, injury woes continue to put them in a tough spot. For Sunday’s game, the Sixers have Joel Embiid listed as out for the upcoming game, and hence, they need to find a way against the Thunder. 

The Sixers are scoring 116.1 points per game, and allowing their rivals to score 115.2 points per game. In addition to it, they have an offensive rating of 114.1 as well as a defensive rating of 113.2, seeded 11th in the seed. It means that they need to up their game offensively, but considering Embiid’s absence, Maxey needs to shoulder Philadelphia’s scoring duties. 

Considering homecourt advantage, momentum throughout the season as well as players’ form, we expect the Thunder to record a win on Sunday. 

Predictions: OKC Thunder to win.
