Once in a while, a team flies under the radar of low expectations. Oklahoma City began the year written off for dead after losing tops stars, Paul George and Russell Westbrook. Counter to their underdog status has been the best record of all for betting on NBA games. Public money has flowed far away from the Thunder which allowed for plenty of upsides. Additionally, OKC epitomizes the concept of team basketball like few others in the Association this year. By contrast, Milwaukee is a team dominated by superstar MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Milwaukee Bucks vs. Oklahoma City Thunder Betting on NBA Games Picks
The outcome here should likely have Oklahoma City undervalued. The Thunder printed money on the road for betting on NBA games as well as in the role of dogs.
