Cavaliers @ Thunder

Oklahoma City is the home favorite at -138 on DraftKings (-136 FanDuel), an implied win probability near 58%, which is a fairly modest price for a team the data labels hot. The records are nearly identical — OKC 5-2, Cleveland 4-3 — and the Thunder's run isn't as clean as the label suggests: their last seven read WWWWLLW, meaning they've gone 1-2 over the most recent three after a 4-0 opening. Cleveland's LWWWLWL sequence shows the same choppiness, including a three-game win streak but a loss in the most recent outing, so neither side enters with real momentum. The books effectively price this as a coin flip plus home court, and at +117 the Cavs are getting a fair-to-generous number against a seven-game sample that's thin on both sides. With the total set tightly at 228.5 and 227.5 and the half-point gap between books, the cleaner read may be shopping that spread rather than leaning hard on a favorite whose edge is largely venue-based.
