Washington at Oklahoma City

There is a price to be paid for success, and the oddsmakers are showing every bit of the Thunder's 31-5 home mark in the inflated line here. Washington is just 26-44 on the season, but have turned the corner with a healthy John Wall, and are an impressive 15-9 over their last 24 games, equating them to a .625 winning percentage and a playoffs team. The line is biased toward the home prowess of the Thunder, and neglecting that this is now a playoffs-caliber Washington team. It is also a team that has found energy on the defensive end and has held 12 of their last 16 opponents under 100 points. Oklahoma City has averaged an even 100 points per game in their last nine, and are playing below their season average. The Wizards are making noise vs. the West where they are an impressive 20-5-1 ATS in their last 26, and have controlled the tempo on the road where the UNDER is 38-14 in their last 52. The Thunder is producing a 14-6 mark to the UNDER on two days of rest. Make the play on Washington and take the UNDER in this one.
