After an average January, the Thunder have to start winning in January, and they are fully aware of that. A beneficial schedule will aide in their quest. They do play six games against potential Western Conference playoff games, but four of those are at home, where the Thunder have not lost when fully healthy.
OKC plays six games at home compared to just four on the road. However, only two of those road games are against teams above .500. I expect them to take advantage of that, and put themselves right in the thick of the playoff race by months end.
February Record: 10-2
Total Season Record (based on predictions): 31-26
