1.88Tip and bets
Oklahoma approaches the game with Charlotte as the undisputed favorite. According to bookmaker analysts, the home team will have very little chance of success. In general, this is true. The Oklahoma City club is playing better this season than last season and is ready to win the conference for the second time in a row. The Hornets are not particularly impressive in terms of results. But Lee team will definitely give a real fight to an opponent weakened by injuries and will do everything possible to achieve victory with the support of their fans.
Our prediction is a Charlotte victory with a handicap of (+11.5) points including overtime at 2.01
Bet on total

Our prediction is under 217.5 points including overtime at 2.05
First quarter bet
Charlotte has lost the first quarter in five of its last six games. The Thunder will no doubt do everything possible to achieve another victory after a successful trip to Indianapolis.

Our prediction is Oklahoma to win the first quarter at 1.45
