Prediction
The Oklahoma City Thunder are going to destroy the Brooklyn Nets on the road. OKC is in a great bounce-back spot after blowing that 26-point lead against the T-Wolves. Brooklyn is a bad team, and the Thunder will make it rain in Brooklyn. SGA should dominate this game, as the Nets don’t have anyone that had the capability to show him down. Lastly, Nic Claxton was suspended for this game; there isn’t any rim protection to keep this team from scoring at the rim. The Oklahoma City Thunder will dominate the Brooklyn Nets and cover the massive 16.5-point spread in this game.

Oklahoma City Thunder -16.5 (-108)
