The first-place Oklahoma City Thunder looks to take care of business against the struggling Philadelphia 76ers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pregame narrative:<\/strong> Oklahoma City is posting elite defensive numbers and I am backing their alt spread in this +340 SGP. Therefore, I believe Maxey is worth fading as a scorer while Isaiah Hartenstein should hit the over on his assists prop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parlay: Thunder -9.5 + Maxey under 3.5 threes + Hartenstein over 3.5 assists (+320)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thunder -9.5 <\/strong>(-200):<\/strong> It’s hard to imagine the Sixers finding any offensive success against an elite defence, especially with Joel Embiid out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oklahoma City is posting a league-best 102.9 defensive rating while carrying four of the top 10 qualified players in defensive rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offensively, the Thunder are not world-beaters by any means. However, with the Sixers missing Embiid and Andre Drummond for this game, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Isaiah Hartenstein can wreak havoc in the paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atop the Western Conference standings, the Thunder are winning most of their games in blowout fashion. Seven of their last eight wins came by double-digits, including against the New York Knicks (117-107) and Boston Celtics (105-92).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the Sixers are a woeful 4-13 ATS at home this season. Recent losses came against the Phoenix Suns (by 10 points) and an inferior New Orleans Pelicans team (by eight points).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Maxey under 3.5 threes (-138):<\/strong> Maxey is one the few shining lights in the Sixers lineup, but faces a tough matchup against a scrappy Thunder defence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Best three-point defence (32%)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Allowing 12.4 3PTM per game (2nd)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Allowing 20.8 PPG to point guards (2nd)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The all-star point guard, being asked to attempt more three-point shots, is hitting at a career-worst 33.6 clip through 31 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    He’s failed to exceed this mark in eight of his last 10 games, despite averaging 9.6 attempts during that stretch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I expect an undersized Maxey to be held in check, with Paul George taking on a bigger shooting role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Hartenstein over 3.5 assists<\/strong> (-150):<\/strong> If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Head coach Mark Daigneault is giving Hartenstein more reign to create plays, and it’s worked wonders thus far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The seven-footer has cleared this line in seven of his last 10 games, averaging 4.6 assists during that stretch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Philly is the seventh-best team in preventing assists to centres. However, this doesn’t factor in the key absences in their paint protection.

    The potential for a blowout does make it a tad worrisome. But there’s no reason this leg can’t cash before that becomes a factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
