The Oklahoma City Thunder went through an adjustment period when Russell Westbrook went down with a knee injury, and they played to a pedestrian 5-5 record in the first 10 games of his absence. They have finally gotten new roles sorted out, and have won five straight games, including a big win on the road at San Antonio. This team is 28-5 outside of those first 10 games without Westbrook. Boston is winning about one out of every three games, but against the tougher Western Conference, the Celtics have sunk to a 3-15 mark straight-up. The Thunder are 14-6 ATS vs. the Atlantic in their last 20, and have won and covered five straight games, and have also covered five of the last six vs. Boston. Lay the points, and go with Oklahoma City.
