Public sentiment heavily favors the Thunder, aligning with sharp money as evidenced by the line tightening toward OKC despite 78% public bets on them, confirming market consensus without contrarian value. Mathematical models support following this side due to OKC’s superior net rating (+15.2) and Portland’s road struggles (3-6 away).
