The Oklahoma City Thunder have a clear talent advantage over the Washington Wizards, but with the spread creeping up higher and higher, watch out for the Wizards to back door cover the Thunder.

The relentless Thunder responded to a rare loss — a 129-122 setback against the Cleveland Cavaliers — by blitzing the New York Knicks on Friday. That included a 70-43 half-time lead, and I’m picking OKC to deliver another dominant first half here while flexing its muscles on both ends of the floor.
