Alternate Spread -8.5 • Oklahoma City Thunder

Alright, so I’m kind of nervous writing this but here goes: I’m taking the Thunder -8.5 (alternate) on DraftKings for 3 units — hey, I like a little confidence today, even if my brain keeps whispering “what if.” The Thunder match up well enough to win comfortably and I’m betting they’ll build separation through a steady second-half push. The -8.5 spread suggests Oklahoma City should control the game flow and create a multi-possession cushion as the contest progresses, so I’m banking on them pulling away rather than a last-second squeaker.
