Durant hurt, Thunder dogs vs. Wizards
WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Spread) – Kevin Durant said the bruised elbow he suffered versus the Heat on Tuesday won’t prevent him from playing tonight against the Wizards.
Durant injured his right elbow when he landed awkwardly after beating Dwyane Wade to the basket for a dunk with just over nine minutes remaining in the Thunder’s 94-86 win over Miami on Tuesday night. Seeing as how the Thunder will play his hometown Wizards tonight, Durant is fully expected to play.
Despite likely having Durant in the starting lineup, the Thunder are listed as 1.5-point road underdogs versus the Wizards at several Vegas sports books, including at Stations Casinos Race & Sports Books. The over/under total is currently sitting at 205 points after opening at 207.5.
The home team is 4-1-1 against the spread in the last six meetings between these two teams while the Thunder are just 1-4-1 ATS in their last six games versus the Wizards. They’re also just 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games in Washington.
