If the Cavs win, they will build a bigger gap with the Thunder as the best record-holder, whereas the Thunder will equal the record of the Cavs if they win here.

However, I see them flipping the script against the odds. Expect the total to cross 230 points. Donovan Mitchell and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander can both breach the 30-point mark here.<\/p><p>Photo Credit: Ken Blaze-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-global mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Thursday(01\/16), the Oklahoma City Thunder(33-6) will clash against the Cleveland Cavaliers(34-5) in an NBA Regular-Season match.
