However, the basketball —and gambling — communities do recognize just how outstanding the Oklahoma City Thunder are. They have a better point differential this season than the Cavaliers (+12.1 to +11.8) and are on a 15-game winning streak that features wins against the Celtics, Knicks, the healthy Mavs, and the Pacers.

Headed by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who is having a season only comparable to Michael Jordan and Dwayne Wade, and Donovan Mitchell, who is having the best shooting season of his career, the Thunder versus the Cavaliers will be must-see TV for all sports fans.
