Command Analysis
Oklahoma City Thunder
USACurrent form
Oklahoma continues its hunt for the title, tearing apart everyone and everything in its path. Nine wins in a row? Yes, please. In the last game, the Thunder didn't just beat Indiana – they gave her a real destruction masterclass (132:111). All four quarters were dictated by them, and the main violin was played by Shay Gilges-Alexander, who was one step away from a triple-double: 33 points, seven rebounds, eight assists.
A rival? I didn't even have time to figure out where it came from. Lugenz Dort added 22 points to the rout, while Isaah Joe and Jaylen Williams scored 19 and 18 more, respectively. Mike Dagnolt has assembled a team that shows without further ado who is the boss here – 62 wins and 12 losses. It's not just the first place in the West, it's a bid for the championship.
Disqualifications and injuries
Well, what can I say… Everything is quiet in Oklahoma, except for the absence of Aaron Wiggins. An Achilles tendon is an insidious thing, but let's be honest, it's unlikely to stop Thunder. The rest are in perfect health and ready to show Chicago where the crayfish hibernate.
Interesting facts for betting
When Oklahoma meets Chicago, the average total points is 217 per game. A figure that clearly hints that a shootout is waiting for us.
The approximate line-up: Shay Gilges-Alexander, Lugenz Dort, Jaylen Williams, Chet Holmgren, Isaiah Hartenstein.
Chicago Bulls
USACurrent form
Chicago, of course, is also a tough place, but... well, you get the idea. In the last game, the Bulls dramatically lost to Dallas (119-120), ending their four-game winning streak. But it was so close to winning! We won three of the four quarters, but a disastrous second twenty minutes nullified all efforts. Matas Buzelis became the leader in this game with 28 points. Kobe White had a solid double-double (25 points, 11 rebounds), Vucevic shot 25, and Zach Collins added 13.
Overall, Billy Donovan's team is ninth in the Eastern Conference, teetering on the brink of the playoffs (33-41). Playing with Oklahoma is a case where you either rush into battle or become a pawn in someone else's game.
Disqualifications and injuries
And that's where the Bulls start having problems. Lonzo Ball is still nursing his ill-fated ankle, and Tre Jones and Kevin Haerter are in the infirmary with him. And if anyone thinks it's possible to win with such losses, welcome to the harsh reality.
Interesting facts for betting
It's funny, but in the entire history of the franchise, Chicago has won 77 games against Oklahoma, and the Thunder – 81. However, statistics from recent years hint that the guys from Oklahoma City are ready to strengthen their advantage.
Approximate composition: Josh Giddy, Patrick Williams, Kobe White, Matas Buzelis, Nikola Vucevic.

1.87Tip and bets
The Bulls are still clinging to a chance to make the playoffs, but Oklahoma is not the kind of club that gives out gifts. Everything is going to ensure that they finish the regular season first, which means that it's not worth waiting for a hack. Thunderclaps accelerated, and the only way to stop them is to turn off the lights in the hall. Therefore, we are betting on a confident victory for the hosts.
Our prediction is that Oklahoma will win by a handicap of (-13.5) points in 1.74
Betting on an individual total
The Thunder's average score for the season is 120.1 points. At home, this figure jumps to 122.9. Plus, four of the last six meetings with Chicago ended with 125+ points. Anyway, Lonzo Ball would definitely be welcome here.
Our prediction is that Oklahoma's individual total is over 128.5 points in 2.03
Bet on the first half
Oklahoma has won the first quarter in five of its last six games against the Bulls. This is not an accident, it's a pattern. The Thunder will start the game with the same spark they've been playing with all season, and they'll try to knock Chicago down in the first half.
Our prediction is an Oklahoma victory in the first half at 1.45
