Thunder Against the Spread | OKC Slightly Favored At Home Against Nets

OKC is slightly favored at home tonight against the Nets, which might be a little surprising. Brooklyn has had a similar path as OKC since the All-Star Break, losing several games followed by a string of wins, and they should make for a pretty even matchup. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has sat out a few second games in back-to-backs, and when he’s returned, he’s managed to play at a high level on high efficiency. I expect nothing less from him tonight, and with the way the team has played lately, even without Shai, they should take care of business and get a win in front of the home crowd.

Just a couple of weeks ago, it looked like the Oklahoma City Thunder might be ready to tank. Losers of 5 straight out of the All-Star Break, playoff chances were dwindling. Since then, OKC has won 5 of the last 6 and is currently tied for 9th place in the West with a 33-35 record. They have a chance to inch a little higher up the standings Tuesday night as they host the Brooklyn Nets.

Thunder Against the Spread | OKC Could Cover Against Nets with Durant Sidelined

The Nets are one of the best teams in the league, but with Kevin Durant now missing from the lineup for quite some with a sprained MCL in his right knee, the wins probably won’t come as easily. Still, Brooklyn has plenty of talent, and the Thunder has their work cut out for them wrapping up a 4-game road trip against one of the Eastern Conference’s best. OKC has been rolling, though, and with that in mind, this should make for a close one.

The Oklahoma City Thunder is ROLLING right now, winning 4 of their last 5, and looking good while they do it. All four wins have been by double digits, and the lone loss was a single-digit decision against the Miami Heat. The Thunder wraps up a 4-game road trip tonight as they take on the Brooklyn Nets.

Kyrie Irving is back, but he can’t play at home. Kevin Durant and Patty Mills are out for rest. James Harden is playing, but he’s not exactly been healthy this season. All of these are reasons that I think the Thunder will keep this one close, and you never know…they might even get their first win of 2022.

After dropping another close loss to the Washington Wizards on Wednesday, the Oklahoma City Thunder has extended their losing streak to 5, the second longest of the season for OKC. The opposition does not get any easier tonight as the Thunder takes on the Brooklyn Nets in New York.

The Oklahoma City Thunder’s win streak came to an end last night at the hands of the Brooklyn Nets, and the competition doesn’t get much easier tonight as the Thunder hosts the Miami Heat. After starting the season 6-1, the Heat are 8-5 after winning just 2 of their last 6.

Oklahoma City is riding the hot hand of a 4-game winning streak and they’re playing at home where they’re averaging 105.6 points per game. The Nets are 3-4 against the spread when playing on the road this season and the Thunder are a strong 4-1 against the spread at home. When playing after a day off OKC is beating the spread 60% of the time. Meanwhile, Brooklyn is only covering 45% of the time following a day off. The Nets very easily could end Oklahoma City’s winning streak tonight but I’m a big fan of the Thunder and those points.

I never thought we would be here. We’re 11 games into the season, and the Oklahoma City Thunder is somehow 5-6 and riding a 4-game win streak, the longest streak for the franchise since August of 2020 in the NBA Bubble. The team is in a very different place since then, and while I’m not entirely certain OKC is tanking—at least in a traditional sense of the word—I don’t expect them to win very many games the rest of the season, starting with tonight.

Now, as the Thunder begins their 14th season, I am finally a season-ticket holder. The Thunder hasn’t had fans in the building since March of 2019, and I for one could not be more excited. Yes, it’s almost guaranteed to be another tank season, and I’m more likely to be in the building for a loss than a win, but I’m still pumped. The NBA announced the full schedule for the 2021-22 season Friday afternoon, so without further ado, here are the 10 games that I’m looking forward to attending the most (in chronological order):
