Smart Game Analysis
Oklahoma City Thunder has a 92% chance of winning the game
Despite missing their top two stars, the rested Thunder are overwhelming favorites against a tanking Nets squad playing the second night of a back-to-back.
Key Analysis
- • Oklahoma City is without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams, but the Nets are missing starting center Nic Claxton.
- • The Thunder have a significant rest advantage coming off the All-Star break, whereas Brooklyn played a game yesterday.
- • Oklahoma City ranks 1st in the league for opponent field goal percentage, holding teams to just 43.5% shooting.
- • Brooklyn has lost 17 of its last 21 games and enters this contest following a 28-point blowout loss to Cleveland.
- • The Nets rank last in the Eastern Conference for points in the paint, a major liability against Chet Holmgren's rim protection.
- • Brooklyn must rely on a high-volume scoring night from Michael Porter Jr. to overcome the severe fatigue and talent disadvantage.
