The Thunder’s perimeter defense is very strong, with Dort providing excellent pressure. It will not be easy for Edwards to play freely on the court. The Thunder mainly rely on Alexander and Williams to drive their offense. With Chet Holmgren missing, the team lacks an inside scoring threat. Therefore, in this matchup between two strong defensive teams, I am leaning towards a low total score.

Pick: Total score under 217.0 (bet365)
