Brooklyn is currently 30th in points, 13th in points allowed, and 26th in point differential. Porter Jr. leads the team in points per game. The Nets are 7-20 on the road and 3-7 in their last 10 games. Brooklyn has struggled significantly, losing 15 of their last 17 games leading into February. Analysts suggest the Nets might cover this large spread because the Thunder will be without MVP favorite Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and key starter Jalen Williams. Brooklyn needs center Nic Claxton for this game because he could be a major factor in the paint.

Oklahoma City is currently third in points, first in points allowed, and first in point differential. Chet Holmgren leads the team in field goal percentage. The Thunder are 22-6 at home and 5-5 in their last 10 games. While the Thunder are missing their primary offensive stars, their league-leading defense (105.0 rating) and the Nets’ last-ranked offense (107.1 PPG) make an OKC victory the most likely outcome. However, for the spread, lately, OKC has been in a bit of a win-a-couple, lose-a-couple type of mode, struggling to get consistent wins and solid play with key injuries.

Brooklyn just played yesterday and had an ugly loss. OKC hasn’t played in eight days and can be off and on with their second stringers.
