Staff Prediction

I like the Thunder to cover in this one thanks to the long injury report for the Hawks and their team chemistry faltering. SGA has been one of the league sbest scorers in this one and Giddey and Dort have provided some solid support for him. Collins, Holiday, and Hunter are out along with G Trent Forrest. Trae Young has an aggravated shoulder and coach that he is dealing with so his status for this one is crucial. Nonetheless, SGA and company keep it close against the disgruntled Hawks.

Pick: OKC +6
