Betting on the Oklahoma City Thunder
- Preseason record: 11-14
- Spread: To be defined [Por definir]
- Moneyline: To be defined [Por definir]
- Over/Under: To be defined [Por definir]
December started in the best way for the Thunder, as they defeated the Timberwolves 135-128 in Minnesota, and then the Hawks 121-114 in Atlanta. Their performance so far has been irregular (11-14 record), and as visitors, they have not done well (5-9), moreover, they were not expected to be so close to fighting for a postseason berth.
They have plenty of material to get excited about the rest of the season, mainly because of the young Canadian Shaj Gilgeous-Alexander. He is the leading scorer with an average of 31.3 points per game and he is also the top assist man with 6 assists per game. But he is not alone, as he is surrounded by other formidable players such as Josh Giddey, Jalen Williams, Aleksej Pokusevski and, more defensively than offensively, Luguentz Dort (who could be out for this game).
Betting on the Cleveland Cavaliers
- Preseason record: 16-9
- Spread: To be defined [Por definir]
- Moneyline: To be defined [Por definir]
- Over/Under: To be defined [Por definir]
During the week, the Cavs had an important victory over none other than the Los Angeles Lakers by 116-102. There were several pieces of good news for the Cavaliers that night, as Jarrett Allen returned to action, and Donovan Mitchell dazzled, especially in the final quarter, contributing with 43 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.
The Cavaliers are a winning machine at home, having posted an 11-1 record at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, where they will host the Thunder. For Thunder vs Cavaliers game, the only confirmed absence is that of Dean Wade, a forward who is suffering from a shoulder injury that will keep him out for almost the whole month of December.
JefeBet Prediction
While the Oklahoma City Thunder have been having an excellent month of December, which is also a sign of their improved collective performance, and which can mean that they can go a long way this season, they have to face the team with the best home record at home in the NBA.
The locals rule at home, and with the recovery of Jarrett Allen, they will undoubtedly be even tougher to defeat. For this reason, at JefeBet we believe that the Cavaliers will win.
Prediction: Cleveland Cavaliers win by more than 10 points.
