Oklahoma City Thunder vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction & Picks - NBA
by Lou Aguila in NBA Picks
The Oklahoma City Thunder look to snap a three-game losing skid as they take on the Charlotte Hornets at Spectrum Center on April 7, 6:00 p.m. US EST.
The Thunder will enter the ballgame as the consensus favorite at -8.5 despite absorbing succeeding losses to Eastern Conference playoff contenders.
The Oklahoma City Thunder
The Thunder will try to address their losing skid that began from a 109-105 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on April 2. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander missed the last three games due to right quad contusion and his extended absence has left a gaping hole in OKC's offense. The Thunder rallied multiple times to narrow Indiana's lead to single digits in their most recent 126-116 loss to the Pacers, but it was clear that they were lacking a player who could make big shots in the closing minutes.
Player to Watch: Lou Dort is coming off a solid ball game against the Pacers, posting a game-high 22 points on 8-for-15 shooting.
The Charlotte Hornets
the Hornets defeated the Orlando Magic 124-115 on April 5, delivering one of their most significant wins of the season. Charlotte started the game quickly, taking a 38-23 lead at the end of the first quarter. Despite numerous Magic comeback attempts, the Hornets hung tough and won by nine points, stopping a four-game losing streak.
Player to Watch: Brandon Miller made his first 10 shots before settling for 32 points on 11-for-13 shooting in the win vs. the Magic.

Our Oklahoma City Thunder vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction
The Thunder dominated the Hornets by 20 points, 126-106, in their first game this season in Oklahoma. In that game, Gilgeous-Alexander dropped 31 points on 11-for-15 shooting to lead his team to a surgical win at home. Unfortunately for the Thunder, Gilgeous-Alexander won't be suiting up for Sunday's ball, leaving the door open for the Hornets to go straight for an outright win or at least cover the +8.5-point spread.
Our betting prediction for Thunder vs. Hornets: Hornets cover +8.5 spread (-105) at BetMGM.
