Thursday night at the Paycom Center brings a clash between two teams just trying to reach the All-Star break in one piece. The Oklahoma City Thunder (42-13) and Milwaukee Bucks (22-30) meet for the final time this season at 7:30 PM ET on Amazon Prime. It is a star-less affair, as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Giannis Antetokounmpo are both officially out with strains. Oklahoma City is a massive 12.5-point favorite despite the fatigue of a back-to-back, while the total sits at a modest 215.5. This matchup represents a significant test of depth for an OKC team that sits atop the Western Conference and a Bucks squad looking to salvage a difficult road trip. Both teams come into this game on zero

The Dallas Mavericks travel to Crypto.com Arena this Thursday night for a 10:00 PM ET tip-off against the Los Angeles Lakers in a game that feels like a vital reset for both franchises.

That’s why the spread matters so much. At -7.5, you’re not just picking the better team — you’re betting that Ohio State can create

Marshall heads to Norfolk on Wednesday night to face Old Dominion at Chartway Arena, and the setup is straightforward for bettors. The Herd bring a higher-scoring profile and real perimeter volume, while Old Dominion’s best chance is controlling the game state at home and keeping Marshall out of clean, early-clock threes. With a short number, this is the type of matchup where one sloppy four-minute stretch can decide the ticket, so you’re betting execution and shot quality more than raw records. The angle I care about most is whether Marshall’s spacing travels. If the Herd are generating the same three-point looks they’ve been living on, they can create quick separation even in a road spot. If Old Dominion is able
