<h2>
Oklahoma City Thunder at Atlanta Hawks Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
<b>Oklahoma City Thunder </b>
</p>
<p>
The Thunder enters into this contest off a win at home on Saturday when they hosted the San Antonio Spurs in OKC. The Thunder won by a score of 122-112 successfully covering as a six-point favorite on their own court. The victory snapped a three-game skid for the Thunder and allowed them to cover for the after failing to do so in the previous three games as well.
</p>
<p>
<b>Atlanta Hawks </b>
</p>
<p>
Atlanta heads into this fixture on the heels of a nasty loss at home on Sunday when they hosted the top-flight Milwaukee Bucks. The Deers galloped to a 133-114 victory over the Birds and as a result, caused Atlanta to fail to cover as a nine-point underdog.

<h2>
Reasons To Avoid Oklahoma City<br />
</h2>
<p>
The Thunder own many edges here to pull the victory and do so emphatically. The Thunder own a significant in the defense department as they are owners of an eighth-ranked unit that give up 107.4 points per game which stands 10.3 points less per game compared to Atlanta’s league-worst 117.7 points per match. Concerning the margins, Atlanta sits at -8.5 to Oklahoma City’s +5.4. As a result of these metrics and narratives, the Thunder actually appears to be easy money here which in itself raises a red flag.
</p>
<h2>
Reasons To Back Atlanta<br />
</h2>
<p>
There is one huge advantage that Atlanta owns that could not only result in a cover here but perhaps maybe just lead to an upset. Atlanta’s bench game is far more prolific to that of the Thunder. Atlanta’s bench produces 42.6 points per contest which is 11.1 points better than OKC’s 31.2 points per match. When Russell Westbrook and Paul George are off the floor, the Hawks have a chance to scoff up points and perhaps never let this game get out of hand. If George or Westbrook’s damage is controlled, the Hawks could actually find themselves in position to threaten the Thunder in the latter stages of the contest.
