Pro Picks
Oklahoma City at Charlotte
Oklahoma City has a big game against Memphis on Sunday and could be looking ahead while laying double digits in this matchup with Charlotte. The Thunder is 1-6 ATS in the past seven meetings with the Hornets, who have beaten the Thunder five of seven outright. The teams are meeting for the first time this season, and Charlotte has covered four of its past five Saturday games. Oklahoma City has six players out with injuries. Lamelo Ball and Brandon Miller are day-to-day but likely will be in the lineup for the Hornets, who are getting healthier after dealing with several early-season injuries. The Thunder will want to save some of their starters' energy for tomorrow's game. Take the big points with the Hornets.

Pro Picks
Oklahoma City at Charlotte
Oklahoma City is the No. 3 seed in the West just one game behind Minnesota. They're hungry to end a three-game slide against the Pacers, 76ers, and Celtics, three of the best eight teams in the Eastern Conference. OKC is fourth in the NBA in scoring (119.8 points per game), third in shooting, and second from the free throw line, while the defense is third in field goal shooting allowed. They're 34-14 ATS after losing three of four, plus 43-26 ATS after two straight defeats. Charlotte is out of any playoff hunt with a dismal 11-28 record at home. The offense is 29th in points scored (106.3 points per game) and 26th in shooting, while the defense is 21st in points surrendered and 28th in shooting allowed. Charlotte is on a 4-16 SU, 8-12 ATS run, and is 10-20 ATS after a spread cover. Play Oklahoma City.
