Expert picks & predictions for Sunday’s Thunder vs. Bucks game
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans the Thunder to cover against the Bucks:
“Although Oklahoma City was a 4.5-point favorite against the Pistons last night and they get basically the same spread the following night against another playoff opponent speaks volumes to the Thunder on the road. It’s Thunder or pass because, at the Bucks’ tempo or the Thunder’s, this time is talented enough to win by three-plus possessions.”
