The Toronto Raptors vs. Oklahoma City Thunder betting odds have been provided by MyBookie, offering the Thunder as 18.5-point favorites. Market analysis suggests that the Thunder are poised to win again with an 86.8 percent likelihood of success.

With Jakob Poeltl (14.2 PPG, 10.1 REB), RJ Barrett (21.6 PPG) both out and Brandon Ingram (22.2 PPG) questionable due to a recent trade, the Raptors’ roster does not hold a candle to the Thunder’s. Look for the Thunder to cover the spread.
