Nets vs Thunder Pickswise Expert Predictions

Point Spread Pick

BKN Nets +17.5(-110)

Reasoning

Not much has changed for the Brooklyn Nets following the all-star break. In their first game since the weeklong layoff, they got destroyed by the Cleveland Cavaliers 112-84. In their second game since the break, they head to Oklahoma City for a date with the Thunder as +17.5 underdogs. With just 4 wins in 20 games, it’s really hard to expect them getting anything out of this game — especially since we know they have won just twice in 9 visits to OKC. It is a real struggle to find any positives for this team right now; it is among those select few teams that are blatantly tanking, hoping to get a high pick in this year’s NBA draft.

One the other side we have the defending champs, who went into the break following a nasty 110-93 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks at home. Injuries have derailed them a bit with leading scorer and MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander out, joined by Ajax Mitchell and Jalen Williams. All 3 of them are expected to sit this game, as well, so it will be interesting to see how the Thunder cope. They have not been as reliable in home games as of late, covering just once in 6 games, while against Eastern Conference opponents they’re just 3-7 ATS in 10 outings. What should give them optimism here is the fact that they’ve beaten the Nets 7 times in 9 home games coming into Friday’s game.

The only question we have to ask ourselves is if we trust the shorthanded Thunder, who are without their 2 best players. Brooklyn is playing without any pressure whatsoever — giving its younger players an opportunity to showcase their talent. The massive spread does make me a tad nervous, I must admit. As bad as the Nets have been lately, they are still capable of keeping games somewhat close. The Thunder might need a game or two to get into rhythm following the break, so I will give the Nets a chance and back them plus the massive spread.

Nets vs Thunder prediction: Brooklyn +17.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
