Oklahoma City Thunder vs Philadelphia 76ers Picks and Predictions | NBA Best Bets for 4/2/24

Do the Sixers have a good chance if he’s back on playoff time and about 70% of the viewers yesterday liked the Sixers Chances with him be back for the postseason he’s ruled out so he’s not going to be back tonight A big picture though I just want to let people know

When he returns if it’s this later this week perhaps I’d be very cautious with the Sixers in those first handful of games um this is a team that was obviously terrible without him for a month or two they’ve learned to play without him now over the past month um

Yes they are just two and five last but they’ve covered four their last five games and going back deeper they’re now 62 and one against the spread the last nine so even though I think he’s maybe the most important player to any team that’s why he was MVP if you look at his

On and offc Court ratings both offensively and defensively it’s almost a 12-point difference per 100 possessions so I do think they will be a contender if he’s healthy come playoff time but in the near term it could be a distraction that’s not the case tonight he’s still out but like you said this

Line is jumping around um a lot of UNC here Maxi is questionable as of the 11:30 a.m. eastern report and if he is a no-o I’d be very careful with the Sixers tonight um right now the line is still around five and a half I would lean

Oklahoma City Thunder in this game now I know when key players are out it’s been an automatic Money Maker to play the short-handed team and yes maybe OKC overlooks this game after winning in New York on Sunday and they also have a huge game at Boston tomorrow without rest uh

So if you’re going to play this game I think the first half would be the safest way to play the Thunder get it down to minus three and that’s a pretty reasonable number it’s just a little bit more than half of the full game line uh so OKC minus three and the

First half would be my preferred side with the No Rest situation at Boston tomorrow sure makes a ton of sense to pay attention the fact that there might be a bigger matchup on tap for OKC tomorrow when it comes to first half are the Thunder a team that have had a

Pretty good first half track record Philly has a bad first half track record or is this just a way to to avoid the hey maybe we’re looking ahead in the second half of this ball game if they have a lead yeah I don’t dig too much into like team records with first half

Second half and to be honest I very rarely use them um it’s more of a situational spot here uh the NBA especially and there’s some other spots like that as well tonight if you look at the card um you got two huge favorites in the LA Laker game at Toronto and then

Also that Milwaukee game and the Lakers have a No Rest situation at Washington tomorrow also so that’s another one in which I would probably look at the first half maybe versus the full game just because of the load management um the problem with the NBA though as with

College basketball with you know double digit favorites especially is you pay a premium right it’s kind of factored into the line um you’re not getting half of the game points you’re getting you know 60 65% of the line but when it’s a shorter price like this OKC situation um

By the way the Lakers are minus seven for the first half in that game at Toronto 12 for the full game so you can see it’s more than half here the line’s five and a half you’re only having a lay three in the OKC game uh so you get a

Little bit trer 50/50 split and I think that makes sense in this one
