The OKC Thunder will play in front of their home crowd for the first time this season during a game against Atlanta on Sunday at 6 p.m.

OKC (2-0) remained undefeated with a 114-95 road win over Chicago on Saturday. Chet Holmgren led the way with 21 points, 16 rebounds and two blocks.

Atlanta (2-0) is also perfect so far. The Hawks are led by former Oklahoma Sooners guard Trae Young, who is averaging 34 points and 11 assists in two games.

Here's a preview of the game, including score predictions, betting odds and injury updates.

Thunder vs Hawks Prediction, Tips

Justin Martinez: Thunder 113, Hawks 102

Atlanta's offense is currently in full swing thanks to Young, who is averaging 34 points and 11 assists in two games. But OKC has yet to allow any team to score more than 100 points this season. And while I think Atlanta will hit that threshold, it won't be by much. Young will be harassed all night by elite perimeter guards like Lu Dort and Alex Caruso, and OKC will win at home and improve to 3-0.
