Prediction:

This matchup features a top team against a bottom-tier team, and with no major injuries to the starting lineup, a 17-point spread in favor of the Thunder is acceptable. Holmgren is likely to play in this game, and considering the Thunder’s recent disappointing loss to the Timberwolves, they will be determined to bounce back and take out their frustration on the Nets. We expect the Thunder to cover the spread comfortably in this game.

Pick: Thunder -17.0 (bet365)
