Though Oklahoma City is the lowest scoring team in the league, a matchup with Washington should lead to more points than usual. The Wizards don’t defend particularly well.

In the last game that they played, the Wizards held the Magic to 100 points and 39.6% shooting. But that is atypical. The previous four games saw the Wiz allow 120, 121, 114 and 130 points. The Thunder are long overdue to hot night shooting as it’s been seven straight games with a field goal percentage no higher than 43.2.

One player to watch from the Thunder is Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who has only made 5 of his last 24 three-point attempts. Gilgeous-Alexander is shooting a career-low from three this season, but I’m banking on him having a bit of a breakout performance tonight.

The problem for Oklahoma City in this game is that it is highly unlikely they will hold Washington to a similar shooting percentage as they did Denver on Sunday. They kept the Nuggets under 100 points as a result of 41.6% shooting, but remember the game before that Minnesota shot 55% against OKC.

The Wizards are also FINALLY getting back Rui Hachimura, who should help improve the team’s woeful shooting from the last game where they made only 40%. The bottom line is both these teams are going to shoot better than they did in their last games. So take the OVER.
