Thunder vs. Odds 76ers, Predictions, Expert Picks, Recent Stats, Trends and Best Bets for January 14

It’s Tuesday, January 14, and the Oklahoma City Thunder (32-6) and Philadelphia 76ers (15-22) are set to leave the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.

There is no doubt that OKC is one of the elite teams in the NBA and among the favorites to win the NBA title in June, while the Sixers are an extreme disappointment led by their big Joel Embiid.

The Thunder are coming off a pair of wins over New York and Washington after a loss last week in Cleveland. Philadelphia has lost two straight after a win last week at home against the Wizards.

The Thunder are currently 15-4 on the road with a +13 point differential, while the 76ers are 4-6 in their last ten home games.

Expert picks and predictions for Thunder vs. Tuesday’s 76ers

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell ( @VmoneySports ) expects OKC defense to limit Philly’s weapons: Kelly Oubre Under 13.5 points (-125)
“Oubre has scored 15 or more points in four of his last five games and with Joel Embiid expected to be sidelined, most people will rush to Oubre’s Overs window. Although he has cashed in recently, the 76ers are double-digit underdogs to the Thunder who have the best defense in the NBA. There will be plenty of guards/forwards who can trigger Oubre to get him under 13.5 points.

Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) goes back to the well for this Philly player prop: Guerschon Yabusele o6.5 Rebounds (-120)
“Yabusele has pulled down at least 7 boards in 10 of the 15 games where he has seen at least 30 minutes. Without Embiid or Drummond means he should get the nod for the starting center role against a team that is giving up the eighth most boards to centers.
