Bookie vs. Bettor: Thunder vs. Heat
The Oklahoma Thunder are hoping to grab the 5-spot in the NBA Playoffs with a three-way tie currently.
With close to 75% of the action on the Thunder, oddsmakers are acting accordingly, pushing the line towards the number 4 even with the NBA Betting Power Ratings indicating that the line should only be a PICK'EM with a slight lean towards OKC -1. Most books opened at -2.5.
The Thunder are just 1-7 Against The Spread off an upset win. That big victory came against the league leading Houston Rockets Saturday night.
A few books have even pushed this one to -4.5.
With Oklahoma City owning this series, expect a nice cover here by the Thunder....the books are anticipating it, though they really need Miami here.
