This is a high total and Oklahoma City is also a great defensive team, second in the NBA in field goal shooting defense (Atlanta is #4 in FG defense). The UNDER is 22-10 when the Thunder play on one day of rest. Atlanta's surge this season has been keyed by defense, tops in the NBA in points allowed. Atlanta is 11-4 UNDER the total against the West and 20-8 UNDER when playing on one day of rest. And when these teams meet, the UNDER is 5-1 in the last six meetings in Atlanta. Take the UNDER.
