Oklahoma City Thunder at Philadelphia 76ers Pick

Many will look at this market and find it hard to believe that Philadelphia is favored against the Thunder. After all, look at who is on Oklahoma City’s roster and lest us forget the modus operandi of this Philly team overall. The fact remains, adding Carmelo Anthony and Paul George to the Thunder roster has so far been a failed experiment. However, the young talent on Philadelphia forming chemistry more with each game they play cannot be overlooked.
