Smart Game Analysis
Oklahoma City Thunder has a 82% chance of winning the game
Despite missing Jalen Williams, the Thunder are heavy favorites at home to bounce back against a Raptors squad lacking their starting center Jakob Poeltl.
Key Analysis
- • Oklahoma City's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is coming off a 47-point performance and will exploit Toronto's interior defense without Jakob Poeltl.
- • The Raptors are missing their defensive anchor Poeltl, which creates a significant mismatch against the Thunder's league-leading drives per game.
- • Oklahoma City boasts the best record in the West (37-9) and averages a potent 121.3 points per game.
- • Toronto enters on a three-game winning streak but struggles to create consistent half-court offense, a weakness the Thunder's pressure defense will target.
- • The Thunder are 33-3 overall when scoring more than 112 points, a threshold they are likely to cross against Toronto's average defense.
- • To pull off the upset, the Raptors must control the pace and force the Thunder into a half-court game to negate their transition advantage.
