    Thunder -10.5

    Please tell me how this can lose. Wizards are one of the worst teams in the NBA, and Thunder are one of the best and have everyone important healthy and are on a roll. How do the Thunder NOT win this game by 20+ tonight?

    I would love this play but just the line is a bit too high...anything better than -9 I'd pound OKC. So theres good reason why they set this line that high....because you have to consider the 'back-door cover' factor here, esp with OKC because they will likely be up big going into 4th QTR and they will go for alot of jump shots and 3's - if they shoot well this will be a blowout, and if not, they can easily allow WAS at home to come within 9-10 pts.

    Either way, OKC is a decent play.

    Remember when OKC played the Knicks a few days ago?? Thunder scored 70 in the first half, lead by 27 going into the 4th quarter, and only ended up with a 12 point win(barely covering at -11 btw) and were outscored 27-12 in the 4Q with everyone on the bench.

    Not saying that'll happen again, but why sweat out a backdoor cover?

    They don't have everybody important healthy. Maynor is out.

    Maynor ain't that important. He's a good back up PG but it's not like they have Westbrook/Durant/Harden out or something.

    He's worth 3 or 4 points a game. That's important.
