Bradley Beal and the Washington Wizards visit the Paycom Center to take on the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, money line odds and over-under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet at Tipico Sportsbook.

The Thunder will be without star guard Shai-Gilgeous Alexander, who is dealing with a sprained ankle, and OKC is riding a four-game losing streak. The Wizards got off to a hot start to the season, but have lost four of five and are coming off an embarrassing blowout loss in New Orleans.
Wizards at Thunder notable injuries:
Washington: Rui Hachimura (not with team) and Thomas Bryant (ACL injury recovery) are out.

Advice and prediction
I’m not sure backers of either team will be particularly confident with this spread. The Wizards are a solid team, but they’ve been playing poorly of late and are 1-4 ATS in their last five. The Thunder, meanwhile, have covered in five consecutive games, but in three of those contests they were double-digit underdogs.
Instead, I’m taking the over 206.5. The Thunder have hit the over in three consecutive games, and 206.5 is their lowest total of the season so far. The Wizards do have a top-10 defense, but if the Pelicans can put up 127 on Washington a few days ago, the Thunder can get to triple-digits.
Prediction: Wizards 110, Thunder 102
