Our Oklahoma City Thunder vs Washington Wizards Prediction
OKC are starting to heat up again and looked excellent last night when they trounced the Clippers by 22 points. The Wizards, on the other hand, are losing nightly and could be shorthanded here with Isaiah Livers currently on the treatment table. The line is a hefty one, but we feel the Thunder will be able to get the cover. Our Oklahoma City Thunder vs Washington Wizards prediction: Oklahoma Thunder -12.5.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
