Nets vs. Thunder Picks
Point Spread Pick for Nets vs. Thunder
- Oklahoma City Thunder to cover. (4 Units)
The Thunder have the edge here because they’re playing very well offensively, scoring more than 119 points per game, while making 49 percent of their shots. They’ve also done a better job at the charity stripe, making over 82 percent of their free throws, while the Nets make less than 80 percent of theirs. They do a good job of finding the open man, and they rebound the ball well, grabbing more than 12 offensive rebounds per game in their last three games, which will give them more scoring chances. They also do a good job of protecting the ball, and won’t give up many easy-scoring chances. The Nets aren’t very good defensively, and they’re giving up more than 115 points per game on the road. They’re also playing on consecutive nights and will be dealing with fatigue, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Thunder. Take Oklahoma City to cover.
