Thunder at Nets: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Nets 111, Thunder 98
Money line (ML)
The Nets (-400) are massive money line favorites in this game, but there just isn’t enough value. They’ve been a bit inconsistent to start the season and the big reason why is due to injuries. They are healthier entering this game and should win easily, but PASS on the money line in favor of the point spread.
Against the spread (ATS)
Despite nearly identical records, the NETS -8.5 (-110) are the far more talented team with scorers all over the floor. This should be a double-digit line, so take the value here on Brooklyn before the gap grows.
Over/Under (O/U)
OKC has the second-worst offense in the NBA, averaging 101.9 points per game. While the Nets could certainly score into the 120s in this game by themselves, take the UNDER 226.5 (-110) as the Thunder won’t offer much help.
