Thunder vs. Hawks Gameday
Oklahoma City has begun the defense of its title with two wins, albeit both required double overtime to secure the victories. They are one of four teams with a 2-0 record (Spurs, Bucks, Knicks).
Atlanta was earmarked as a club that could vie for home court, but they looked completely out of sync versus the Raptors in the opener. In their follow-up match, they lived up to expectations, taking down another projected top-tier squad, the Magic.
They’ll also be on a back-to-back in this game, having played on Friday.

OKC Thunder vs. Atlanta Hawks Odds & Last 5
Head-to-head last season, the Thunder took both meetings against the Hawks.
OKC was 4-2 in the preseason but has yet to welcome Jalen Williams back on the court following offseason surgery.
Atlanta was 2-2 in the preseason and began the regular season splitting their two opening games.
Thunder Stats
The defending champions held the seventh-best defensive rating last season (105.3), combined with a modest 26th-ranked offense (105.5), so there is definitely room for growth in the latter area.
In addition, they held the 14th-best net rating (+0.2) running a pace of 103.8, also ranking 14th overall.
With so many Thunder players out injured, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is taking a ton of shots, but he’s produced by recording the most points ever (90) by a returning MVP. His 55 points versus the Pacers on Thursday were the most of his career.

Hawks Stats
Last season, the Pacers ranked 22nd offensively (107.1), 18th defensively (111.5), with the 23rd best net rating of (-4.3). Perhaps a bit of a surprise is the sixth-ranked pace the Hawks play with (106.1)
The clear goal of the season is for the Hawks to contend in the East and not just finish as a play-in seed like they have the past four years.
Trae Young is still searching for his shot, having shot 2 of 13 from the perimeter in his first two games.
OKC Thunder vs. Atlanta Hawks bottom line:
Last season, the Thunder were notorious for blowing out squads, rarely needing clutch time to finish off teams. As they hit the hardwood for their third match, avoiding overtime is a given, but no doubt the mandate will be to take care of business early.

Thunder Hawks Free Pick: Thunder -6.5
Here is my Thunder Hawks free pick. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander appeared completely spent in his post-game interview in Indiana. Clearly, four extra frames through two games to complete the mission wasn’t on anyone’s bingo card.
Injuries remain an issue for the Thunder who limp into Atlanta with seven players listed as day-to-day including key cogs (Jalen) Williams, Caruso and Wallace. Yet, it’s the uncertainty of Porzingis and Risacher’s availability that should have a larger impact on the final score.
OKC’s versatility and depth (despite all the injuries) will be a problem for Atlanta because the Thunder are so disciplined. Like the Raptors, the Thunder are quality mid-range scorers, so expect Mark Daigneault to utilize a similar strategy as they take care of business early in this match.
