Thunder win by 4 or more
Spread: the points they have to cover.
Ticket OKC -3.5
Both teams sit at 6-2, but ESPN still gives Oklahoma City about 67 percent on the road. Memphis lists Scotty Pippen Jr as Out, so the Thunder laying a short 3.5 is the lean.

Preview
Oklahoma City visits FedExForum at 8:00 p.m. ET. ESPN has both clubs at 6-2. The Thunder are 2-2 on the road; Memphis is 2-2 at home. Oklahoma City is 3-2 in its last five after a 125-114 win, while Memphis is 3-2 in its last five after a 110-105 win, per ESPN's last-five.
Key factors
Memphis's ESPN injury board lists Isaiah Stewart and Scotty Pippen Jr. Out. Oklahoma City lists Chet Holmgren, Cason Wallace, Jaylin Williams, Nikola Topic and Thomas Sorber Out. ESPN's game leaders show Shai Gilgeous-Alexander at 30.1 points for Oklahoma City and Ty Jerome at 27.4 points for Memphis. ESPN's matchup predictor gives Oklahoma City about a 67% win chance on the road. DraftKings via ESPN has Oklahoma City -4.5, moneylines at OKC -180 / MEM +151, and the total at 224.5 — the spread is a point longer than the morning board's short 3.5 lean.
The pick
Our morning card took Oklahoma City to win by 4 or more as a Lean off a ~3.5 ticket. The evening DraftKings number is OKC -4.5 with the same 67% ESPN predictor and Pippen still Out. Keep the Thunder side; the risk is Memphis at home without Holmgren on the other bench. Check late injury news on Wallace and Holmgren.

How to read a pick
The bold line is the bet in plain words. The ticket line under it is the number from the source, when the source had one.
- Spread
- The points a team gets or gives. "Eagles win by 4+" is the same idea as PHI -3.5: that team has to win by 4 or more. A plus number means the team can lose by fewer than that, or win.
- Moneyline
- Who wins the game. No point spread. The price, like BOS -155, only says how short or long that win was on the snapshot.
- Over/under
- The total. Add both sides together. Over 2.5 goals means 3 or more. Under 2.5 means 2 or fewer.
- Parlay
- Two or more bets tied together. Every part has to hit, or the whole ticket loses. This board does not build a parlay for you.
- Lean, Like, Love
- Lean is a small edge. Like is a clearer read. Love is the strongest call on the board. No pick means we are not calling a side.
