Thunder vs 76ers predictions, picks
Justin Martinez: OKC 120, Philadelphia 105
OKC has lost four of its last six games, and it desperately needs a win to get back on track. I believe it’ll get exactly that when it hosts a Philadelphia team that’ll be without Joel Embiid and Kelly Oubre Jr., who’ve combined for an average of 38.6 points per game this season. Tyrese Maxey will have to take on an even larger scoring role, and OKC’s wealth of elite perimeter defenders should be able to cause some problems for him. Give me the Thunder in this one.
