00:03 Now to the best cover team in the NBA, the Oklahoma City Thunder.

00:07 Another win last night for OKC.

00:10 They have 41 as they keep pace with Minnesota,

00:14 who also has 41 victories for the top spot in the Western Conference.

00:19 But OKC also keeps covering numbers.

00:22 Now make that six straight wins for the Thunder.

00:25 They have covered in all six victories, 112-95 at home,

00:30 back in Oklahoma City against the Houston Rockets last night.

00:33 They cover as a double digit favorite, laying 10 in OKC.

00:38 >> Yeah, we were happy to lay the double digits yesterday,

00:40 cuz it's come time to lock in here for OKC.

00:43 We're taking a look at that short sprint to the finish here,

00:45 before we get to the NBA playoffs.

00:47 And they want to be that number one overall seed in playing like it.

00:50 And also, the haves and the have nots, as we talk about now, Ben,

00:53 which means the Oklahoma City Thunder, absolutely every single game matters that

00:57 they need to put into the win column.

00:59 You take a look at the Houston Rockets, every game doesn't matter to them.

01:02 They're not going to be making some playoffs here.

01:04 They're 5-23 now on the road.

01:06 They're just looking for the finish line, so

01:08 they can rebuild in the off season, get another high draft pick, and

01:10 spend some money in free agency.

01:12 That was a great performance overall, but

01:14 just like you can anticipate every single time OKC takes the court and they win.

01:19 That's a 30 plus point effort out of SGA.

01:20 He did it again last night.

01:22 Oklahoma City, 41-17 on the season, one of the fun teams to watch in the NBA.

01:27 They give you night to night action here, and

01:30 we're no longer starting to say, you know what, Ben?

01:32 I don't know if they can handle this down the stretch.

01:34 I believe they will.

01:35 They are a legitimate contender to be not only the number one overall seed in

01:39 the West, but to actually do damage in the playoffs here.

01:41 That's a great basketball team.
