The Bucks are due for a letdown after pulling out three narrow victories the past six days edging the Heat by one point at home, defeating the Bulls by six on the road and beating the Suns at home this past Sunday in a game that was much more intense and closer than the final score indicated.

After this game, the Bucks go back home to meet the Hawks on Wednesday. So the backdoor should swing open for Oklahoma City if the Bucks were to build a big lead.

The Thunder are capable of pulling upsets. Just three games ago they knocked off the Nuggets in Denver by 12 points as a 15 1/2-point 'dog.

Oklahoma City has the second-best ATS mark in the NBA at 38-22-4 (63 percent).
