Advice and prediction
James Harden has found his groove and he’s back in OKC with Kevin Durant. Have to take the Nets minus the points, even with the spread set so high. NBA players don’t take their foot off the gas when they visit old teams, no matter what any of them say about those games not meaning more than others.
This also means don’t think twice about Harden and Durant’s points props. Take the over. Harden is the safer bet of the two because his total is lower, but the over on both point totals is a better bet than the spread or any other option for this game on BetMGM.
The over on Harden’s rebounds prop comes in at a good price. Definitely riskier than the three options listed above, but one worth considering considering the payout and who the Nets are playing — again, revenge game.
Prediction: Nets 121, Thunder 110
UPDATE: Kevin Durant (rest) has been ruled out Friday.
