Burns' Selection // Oklahoma City Thunder [Against The Spread] .

Oklahoma City will still be without Chet and Williams. However, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander makes his teammates better whenever he's on the court. He's coming off an excellent performance against the Celtics where he looked "average" for his statistics this season. It's ridiculous how well he's been playing to think that. This OKC team is special, even not at full strength.

As the Pistons started winning and winning, oddsmakers started to respect them. I believe that they have started to respect them way too much. Yes, it's been a great year and J.B. Bickerstaff is getting the best out of these guys. However, this isn't a team that should be that much better than last years team. I mean this is against OKC we are talking about, even with the injuries. Expect a big win for the Thunder.

Score Prediction: 126-113 Thunder.
