Oklahoma City at Brooklyn

Oklahoma City is a powerhouse young team with a 12-3 record, including an impressive 6-2 on the road. They can score with their big young offensive guns (No. 4 in scoring in the league) and they can block shots and defend with Kendrick Perkins and Serge Ibaka. The Thunder is 6-0-1 ATS in their last seven games playing on two day’s rest, and is on a 5-1 ATS run and 11-3 ATS in their last 14 against the Eastern Conference. They take on a struggling New Jersey team that isn't doing anything right, No. 20 in the league in scoring, No. 28 in rebounds and No. 29 in points allowed at a whopping 100.7 points per game. The Nets are 7-18 ATS in their last 25 games as an underdog of +5.0 to +10.5 and 2-10 ATS in their last 12 home games. And the favorite is 11-4 ATS in the last 15 meetings between these clubs. Play the Oklahoma City Thunder. Also, I can't see much scoring to justify this total. When Oklahoma City is rested they play their best defensively, with the Thunder 7-0 UNDER the total when playing on two day’s rest. They are also 8-3 UNDER in their last 11 road games against a team with a losing home record, and are on a 7-3 run UNDER overall. It will be tough for the Nets to score inside and the UNDER is 5-1 in the Nets’ last six games playing on two day’s rest. Play Oklahoma City and take the UNDER.
