(NBA) Oklahoma City vs. Brooklyn,
Point Spread: 5.00 | -105.00 Brooklyn (Home)
Result: Loss
The Nets are 10-2 in Jan and starting to play some good ball. They also have beaten OKC this year. Now the Brooklyn Nets are a home dog tonight. I am not going to argue that Durant is the hottest player in the NBA right now. I fully agree but tonight is not a good spot for him and his team. The Thunder have won 9 straight games, covering in 8 of the 9. I expect a letdown after the big Miami National TV win. The Heat had owned the Thunder and they have to be relieved and a bit punch drunk after winning that game. Brooklyn also has an advantage as they are well rested for this game playing on 3 days rest and I expect Deron Williams and the Nets veterans to be rested and step up big tonight at home with many of the Super Bowl players in attendance.
