We're excited about this Oklahoma City team. After last year's 3-29 SU start, they are a respectable 26-36 and have started .500 this season. They have already taken the Lakers to OT, upset the Magic and beat the Spurs when they had both Tim Duncan and Tony Parker in the lineup. Washington just won for the first time in seven games and is in an obvious letdown spot here after beating the Cavs Wednesday night. They are 17-38-2 ATS when playing with one or less days rest. The addition of Maurice Cheeks to the Thunder coaching staff has been a big plus. So too has been the improved bench play to go along with stars Durant, Green and Westbrook. This is now a top-eight defense. The last two seasons, the Wizards are 3-18 ATS when taking or getting less than three points. Take Oklahoma City
