The Thunder have won four in a row. OKC is ranked fourth in points per game, at 121.5 points per game. On the defensive side, they are giving up 113.1 points per game. The Atlanta Hawks have struggled, winning just once in their last five games. Atlanta hasn’t had a problem on the offensive end, where they are putting up 122 points a game this season. The defense has been a problem for the Hawk. They are giving up 122.7 points per game on the defensive end. The Thunder have been playing better basketball around and have been doing it against tougher competition. Atlanta has a strong offense but the Thunder are not far behind on the offensive end the Thunder are a lot better on the defensive end. OKC will be traveling to Atlanta but I don’t see that as a big thing as it is not that far and Atlanta does not play great defense.

Play on OKC on the money line. This is a 4% play.
