Sport Prediction

Oklahoma Metropolis Thunder

All eyes are on the previous 2022 2nd general choose, Chet Holmgren tonight.  He missed the whole 2022-2023 marketing campaign as a consequence of a proper foot harm and has been dominant this summer season.  Though Holmgren struggled capturing final sport, he has 7 blocks in two video games, and is a rebounding machine.  The Thunder even have second yr participant Jalen Williams, who was chosen twelfth general within the 2022 NBA Draft. To not be confused with Jaylen Williams. he’s balled out in his solely look this summer season.

Williams missed final sport as a consequence of a hamstring harm, nevertheless, he scored 21 factors.  As well as, Jalen shot 3-5 from the three, and had 1 block.  Very similar to Holmgren, he fights his strategy to the basketball, and might hit from downtown.  As well as, the Thunder have Tre Mann, the previous 18th general choose within the 2021 NBA draft. Mann is averaging 24 factors, 2 steals, 2 assists, and 5.5 rebounds in two video games. Additionally, he’s capturing 41.6 % from the three, and over 50 % from the sphere. Oklahoma Metropolis additionally has Jaylin Williams, a former thirty fourth general choose in 2022.  The Thunder are loaded with expertise, measurement, and guys that may defend and rating.  It’s essential to notice the Thunder cut up their two video games and misplaced to Memphis with Jalen Williams out.

Philadelphia 76ers

The Philadelphia 76ers cut up their first two video games and are trying get a win tonight in opposition to the Thunder.  Somewhat than one standout participant, the 76ers are led by Ricky Council IV, Jaden Springer, Terquavion Smith, Filip Petrusev, and Jalen Smith.  Terquavion Smith is a 2023 undrafted participant out of NC State and might shoot the ball.  Maybe with James Harden’s potential departure, Smith may assist backup Maxey on the guard place.  We’ve seen Terquavion Smith shoot a excessive quantity of pictures this summer season and has glorious motion behind screens.  Smith scored 18 factors, on 6-16 capturing in his first sport in opposition to Memphis.

The Philadelphia 76ers didn’t have a 2023 NBA Draft Choose because of the James Harden commerce from the Nets.  Nevertheless, along with Terquavion Smith, Philadelphia signed undrafted free agent, Ricky Council IV.  Council IV has but to have a “breakout” sport, nevertheless, he’s been a contributing issue to this summer season lineup.  Council IV stands at 6 foot 6, can seize rebounds, rating, though he must work on his three-point shot.  General, Ricky Council IV is an unbelievable athlete, who has measurement and power.  In his final sport in opposition to Utah, Ricky contributed in varied methods. He scored 14 factors, had 5 blocks, 5 assists, and three rebounds.  As well as, Council IV took quantity of pictures, alongside together with his infamous slams. 

Along with the 2023 undrafted free brokers, the 76ers have a veteran presence in large man, Filip Petrusev.  Petrusev was the fiftieth general choose within the 2021 draft and will presumably land a roster spot behind Joel Embiid. Petrusev had 10 factors and eight rebounds in 26 minutes in opposition to Memphis and has been serviceable for the 76ers.  Jaden Springer, a former twenty eighth general choose in 2021 has impressed this summer season as properly.  Springer had 18 factors, six steals, and confirmed his ending abilities. Though he’s not a sharpshooter per say, Springer makes the simple buckets depend.  Additionally, Javonte Smith impressed in his solely sport in opposition to the Jazz wherein he scored 19 factors on 3-6 3-point capturing.  General, the 76ers have a younger core with promising expertise.

Prediction:

I really like each of those groups, wherein they’re filled with younger expertise.  The Thunder have the slight edge as a consequence of Chet Holmgren, Jalen Williams, Trey Mann, and Jaylen Williams.  All 4 of them are second yr gamers, and each Jalen and Jaylen Williams and Tre Mann had taking part in and beginning time within the NBA final season. 

Philadelphia is loaded with expertise; nevertheless, they want time to develop. I count on OKC’s expertise and measurement to overwhelm the 76ers tonight.  The Thunder are essentially the most full summer season league, and have a number of NBA established gamers. 

I like OKC Cash Line (-175), OVER 184.5, and OKC -4.  Though the 76ers coated the unfold the final two video games, they’ve but to see a lineup just like the Thunder.  Philadelphia could also be in hassle going in opposition to Holmgren, who’s 7 foot 1.
