Oklahoma City Thunder Betting
The Oklahoma City Thunder has entered this year on a rebuilding phase and they seem to look forward to getting high already in the upcoming 2021NBA Draft. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been the most consistent player for the team and he has been stuffing up the scoring for the Thunder. Al Horford is in-and-out of the team while George Hill has already expressed disinterest in continuing the season due to stricter COVID-19 protocols. Darius Bazley and Lou Dort have good potential and the Thunder seems to be building on them even further heading on to the future.
Players to watch: S. Gilgeous-Alexander SG 23 GP 23 GS 33.8 MIN 22.3 PTS 0.7 OR 4.7 DR 5.3 REB 6.4 AST 0.8 STL 0.6 BLK 2.9 TO 2.1 PF 2.2 AST/TO 20.96 PER

Cleveland Cavaliers Betting
The Cleveland Cavaliers may be looking at waving the white flag early this season despite the potential of their team. Andre Drummond has been benched already as the team is looking for a potential trade for the big man. Kevin Love is back but he has seemed to be a shell of himself. Jarrett Allen has been taking over the starting center position and has been doing really good so far. Darius Garland is also back in the team and his best season continues to grow. It is just intriguing who the Cavaliers will be getting to replace Drummond and it could change the pace of the team’s season.
