The Oklahoma City Thunder have gotten healthier and they have been great when they have both Durant and Westbrook available and on the floor together. They are now 39-14 overall, and are staked as a big double-digit favorite tonight against New Orleans. They will have to overcome some sad emotions, as former Pelicans coach Monty Williams', lost his wife in a car crash just yesterday, and he is now the top assistant with the Thunder. Combine that with the fact that this is the last game before the All-Star break, and I'm not sure how invested the Thunder will be. Last night the Lakers came within 10 as they mailed in the fourth quarter, and could easily see a similar result in this one. The best option appears to be taking the points and New Orleans in this one.
