The OKC Thunder host the Charlotte Hornets seeking to secure a fifth successive NBA victory. They enter this game with the best record in the Western Conference and NBA while the Hornets are 14th in the East. Below is our prediction for this match.

The Thunder are seeking to end the regular season with the best record. Mike Daigenault’s men have taken advantage of the Cavaliers’ recent woes, moving ahead of them in the race for the best record.

OKC have compiled a 57-12 record and are one game clear of Cleveland at the top of the pile. They are coming off a dominant 133-100 victory over the Sixers in their return home after a three-game road trip. With 13 games left, the Thunder have already secured a playoff spot.

The Hornets are on the second night of a back-to-back. They began this no-rest stretch with a 115-98 victory over the Knicks at home. The win snapped a two-game skid.

Charlotte have won four times in their last seven games. By their standard, this is one of their best stretches of results. However, it has come late, as they look destined to miss the postseason once again.

Charles Lee’s men have compiled an 18-51 record, the second-worst return in the East. With 13 games left, they are nine games off the play-in places.
