Book: Best price at FanDuel
Our best bet for Oklahoma City Thunder vs Brooklyn Nets in Thunder -17.5 (-106) against the spread.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have been going through a slump recently. However, despite that, they are leading the charts. The Thunder maintain the fourth-best offensive rating in the league, while their defense has occupied them the top spot among 30 teams. The Nets, on the other hand, are struggling with one of the worst offenses and defenses in the league.
This signifies that while Oklahoma City hasn’t been doing too well recently, it has still maintained its dominance over its foes.
The spread at Thunder -17.5 fits the reigning champions well considering their edge on the court as well as the Nets’ struggling form. The hosts cover well in such spots.
Keeping their homecourt advantage, elite offense and defense in mind, we are comfortably laying the Oklahoma City Thunder -17.5 (-106) as our best bet, and expect them to cover the number conveniently.
3-Leg SGP (Safer)
Combined odds: +550
We have built this same-game parlay around the Oklahoma City Thunder to record a big and easy win at home. Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Joe are expected to take scoring responsibility since the team is missing key scorer, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
These legs are correlated considering, if the Thunder take control of the court from the beginning, their players will get ample scoring opportunities. Not only this, but it will also enable them to create more plays for their teammates. Hence, this is our safer SGP option.
