It's pretty clear who the favourite is here. Will Mark Daigneault's team have the upper hand in this matchup, making it six meetings in a row. We've got a prediction and some bets on this match for you.

The Wizards have played the last two away games against Eastern Conference rivals and lost both. First, Brian Keefe's team put up a good fight against a half-reserved Philadelphia squad, losing only in the end (103:109). Then, they suffered a crushing defeat to Chicago (105:138). Washington has now failed five games in a row. Before that, they lost at home to Houston (112:135) and twice to New Orleans (120:132 away, 98:110 at home), the Western Conference's main outsider. With a balance of 6-30, the capital team is at the bottom of the Eastern standings.

The Thunder recently played away against Cleveland and lost 122:129. This put an end to Oklahoma's 15-game winning streak, which was a franchise record. After this, the team played at Madison Square Garden against New York and won 126:101. Shay Gilgeous-Alexander was again the most productive player for the Thunder, scoring 39 points. The Canadian is now the main contender for the title of the most valuable player of the current season. Oklahoma is in first place in the Western Conference standings with a 31-16 record and a handicap of 6.0 wins from second Houston. Oklahoma has five straight wins against Washington. In fact, the Thunder defeated Washington in the first game of the season series of this championship 123:105 at home.

Oklahoma has won the last five games against Washington, including a 123:105 home victory over the Wizards in the first game of the season.

• Oklahoma will beat Washington for the sixth time in a row, with odds of 1.067 at 1xbet.
• The total points scored by the two teams in their last six matches is 227, so you could bet on the over (227.5) at odds of 1.625 at 1xbet.
• Washington has scored over 105 points in six out of seven home matches. We bet on IT1O (107.5) at odds of 1.90 at 1xbet.
• Oklahoma hasn't scored more than 123 points in 7 of the last 8 away games. We bet on IT2U (123.5) at odds of 1.90 at 1xbet.

The teams are not on the same level here, and Oklahoma will probably win easily, but the total seems overrated. The Thunder is leading the defensive rating this season and often succeed because of their defence. So, we're backing Oklahoma for a convincing win, even if it won't be the most efficient game. Also, we go for TO of rebounds.
