Oklahoma City Thunder | Game #34 Preview: Brooklyn Nets

OKC looks to get back on track on Friday night as they continue their road trip with a stop in Brooklyn against the Nets. The Thunder hosted the Nets on New Year’s Eve, and after getting off to a slow start, they handled Brooklyn just fine to come out on top 124-108. Brooklyn’s struggles have continued as they have suffered double-digit defeats to the New Orleans Pelicans and Houston Rockets since then, so they are going to try to break their 5-game losing streak by getting a win in front of the home crowd.

I knew that Wednesday’s matchup in Atlanta against the Hawks was a trap game, but I still expected OKC to pull out a win. Even after trailing by 16 with just a few minutes left in the game, the Thunder put themselves in a good position to force overtime at the least, and they very nearly did it. With that in mind, I think they come back in full force tonight after a solid day’s rest to pick up a second big win against Brooklyn in the last week.

Now the Thunder looks to wrap up 2023 with a home game against the struggling Brooklyn Nets. The Nets have won just 2 of their last 9, and both wins came against the Detroit Pistons, which isn’t saying much. A win for OKC would give the Thunder 10 wins in a calendar month for just the second time in the last 4 seasons.

All things considered, I really like this spread. It’s safe to say that Oklahoma City is the hottest team in the league right now while Brooklyn definitely is not. The Thunder has won 6 of their last 7, and the Nets have managed just 2 wins in their last 9 games, both of which were against the Detroit Pistons. OKC has been solid at home, winning 8 of their last 9, and I expect they’ll put on a show so Thunder fans can usher in the New Year with some excitement.

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.

Tonight, the Thunder takes on the Phoenix Suns in the first matchup between Chris Paul and his former OKC squad. Paul is doing a solid job leading the Suns so far, but they are without Devin Booker, so this should make for a great matchup.

Today, the Thunder takes on the hottest team in the bubble, the only team to be undefeated through every seeding game so far, the Phoenix Suns (31-39). Entering the bubble, it appeared as if Phoenix had no chance at making the playoffs, but now they’re on the verge of doing just that.

Tonight, the Thunder hosts the Phoenix Suns (11-16), who are going through a bit of a rough stretch. Since starting the season 6-3, the Suns have lost 13 of their last 18, and they have not won a game on the road against a team currently in a playoff position.

The Oklahoma City Thunder is on a bit of a slide, perhaps the worst set of losses since starting the season 0-4. The Thunder has lost 2 consecutive games and 5 of the last 10 to put them at 3rd in the West with a 21-12 record, but they have a good chance to get back on track tonight as they play the Suns in Phoenix.
