Reasoning
01
GPT-6 Luna
Oklahoma City Thunder win
111–112
58%
Oklahoma City’s 2-0 start, stronger recent defense, and favorable recent head-to-head record outweigh Cleveland’s home advantage. Both teams have two days’ rest, supporting a competitive, moderately paced game.
02
Claude Sonnet 5.5
Oklahoma City Thunder win
114–119
58%
OKC enters unbeaten with elite defense (97.7 per 100) and SGA leading a deep roster; Cleveland's defense has been leaky in its last three games.
03
Gemini 3.8 Flash
Oklahoma City Thunder win
112–116
58%
Oklahoma City boasts an elite defensive rating (97.7) and recent head-to-head dominance over Cleveland, giving Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder the edge despite being on the road.
04
Grok 4.7
Cleveland Cavaliers win
114–108
58%
Thunder listed without Holmgren and Jalen Williams, blunting their elite defense. Mitchell-Mobley-Harden at Rocket Arena plus equal rest favors Cleveland in a mid-110s game.
05
DeepSeek V4 Pro
Oklahoma City Thunder win
114–115
58%
Thunder are 2-0 with the NBA's best defensive rating and have won three straight H2H meetings, including two in Cleveland. Cavaliers' 120 points allowed per game is a concern.
06
Qwen 3.8 Max
Cleveland Cavaliers win
119–108
63%
OKC missing Holmgren, Jalen Williams, and Wallace (~34 pts combined), severely weakening their defense and depth. Cleveland's Mitchell-Mobley-Harden trio at home should exploit the gaps.
07
Meta Muse Spark 1.3
Cleveland Cavaliers win
117–109
62%
Cavaliers W3 at Rocket Arena with Mitchell scoring well; Thunder missing Williams, Holmgren, Caruso last game despite elite defense. H2H favors Thunder but roster gaps tilt this matchup home.
08
Kimi K3
Oklahoma City Thunder win
110–116
62%
Thunder's elite defense (97.7 rating) and 5-game win streak outweigh Cleveland's home court; OKC has won 3 straight H2H meetings including a 136-104 blowout in January.
09
GLM 5.3
Cleveland Cavaliers win
113–107
55%
Cleveland at home with Mitchell in form (26.7 pts) and OKC missing Holmgren, Williams and Wallace; OKC's elite defense keeps it close, but shorthanded depth tips it to the Cavs.
10
MiMo V2.6 Pro
Oklahoma City Thunder win
112–113
58%
OKC's elite defense (97.7 per 100) and 5-game win streak outweigh Cleveland's home edge, though missing Holmgren and Jalen Williams tightens it. Mitchell's 26.7 ppg form keeps it close.
