Oklahoma City at Brooklyn

Premium Pick

Oklahoma City is 23-10 on the season, and own impressive wins vs. Minnesota, Denver, and Boston in three of their last six games. The Thunder has shot better than 50% in each of their last six games. That is not a sustainable pace, and taking on a 15-20 team in Brooklyn tonight after so many big games is almost a certain letdown spot. The Nets have dropped five straight games and has failed to cover six straight, so there is value here as the line is expecting what these teams have been doing in recent games to be sustainable, and that has pushed the value onto the dog. Favorites from +3.5 to +9.5 that have scored 120 or more points in two straight games are 134-201 ATS. I like Brooklyn in this one.
