The hosts are entering the matchup with a 30-6 win-loss record, having recorded a three-point loss to the Phoenix Suns in their most-recent game. The Hornets, on the other hand, is a poor-performing team in the East, seeded 12th with a win-loss tally of 12-23. They are entering the matchup off a blowout win over the Chicago Bulls.&nbsp;<\/p><p>The Thunder are -15.5 favorites, with the moneyline at Oklahoma City -1100 and total around 232.5. The odds clearly favor the Thunder to come on top with a heavy margin in a lopsided game. We&rsquo;ve got our Best Bet, a same-game parlay, and some favorite player props for tonight&rsquo;s matchup.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Here&rsquo;s how we are betting Thunder vs Hornets tonight.&nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Bet for Oklahoma City Thunder vs Charlotte Hornets&nbsp;<\/h2><p><strong>Best Bet: OKC Thunder -15.5 (<a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-sports-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>-114<\/a>)&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Book<\/strong>: Best price at <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-sports-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>FanDuel<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p><p>The reigning champions, Oklahoma City Thunder, have been dominating the charts right from the beginning of the season.

They have the fifth-best offensive rating and a table-top defensive rating. The Hornets, on the other hand, score 115.8 points per game, and allow too many points, suggesting that they need to put in overall effort to up their game.&nbsp;<\/p><p>The spread at -15.5 feels accurate for the Thunder in the upcoming game considering their home dominance against weaker teams. They cover big in these spots.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Given Thunder&rsquo;s balance, home edge and the Hornets&rsquo; struggles on the road, we are laying the 14.5 points and expect the Thunder to cover the number tonight.&nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Same-Game Parlay Picks for Oklahoma City Thunder vs Charlotte Hornets&nbsp;<\/h2><p>3-Leg SGP (Safer)&nbsp;<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Leg 1: OKC Thunder -14.5 alternate spread&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leg 2: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 31.5 points&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leg 3: Chet Holmgren Over 18.5 points&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul><p><strong>Combined odds: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-sports-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>+636<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>We are building this same-game parlay around the Oklahoma City Thunder winning seamlessly at home.
