Thunder vs. Cavaliers Prediction

The fact that major draft pick Chet Holmgren will miss this whole season is a nightmare for the Thunder. Even with his absence, the team has performed respectably on offense. It's on the defensive end of the court that the Oklahoma outfit have often come noticeably unstuck this season.

The Cavaliers, meanwhile, are the superior team overall but are riddled with injuries and are playing back-to-back nights, which means fatigue could be an issue. Arguably the best defensive team in the league when playing at full strength, even if they're tired, the Cavs should be able to pull out a win tonight.
