Oklahoma City Thunder Betting Preview
The Oklahoma City Thunder have been in great form as they've won nine of their last 11 games overall, but they will be hoping to bounce back after getting beaten by the Timberwolves in a 131-128 overtime loss on Monday. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the team with 39 points, 10 rebounds, and eight assists, Jalen Williams added 27 points with six assists while Aaron Wiggins chipped in with 19 points off the bench. As a team, the Thunder shot 42 percent from the field and 15 of 49 from the 3-point line as they jumped all over the Timberwolves in the first half to build a 25-point lead. However, that was not enough to hold off the Timberwolves who sent the game into overtime where the Thunder managed just seven points to suffer their worst defeat of the season. The Thunder will face the Hawks following this one.
Brooklyn Nets Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets have been in fine form as they have won seven of their last 10 games overall. But they will be eager to bounce back in this one after falling short to the Wizards in a 107-99 road defeat on Monday. Ziaire Williams led the team with 19 points, Cameron Johnson added 17 points, and Tyrese Martin chipped in with 15 points off the bench. As a team, the Nets shot just 39 percent from the field and 14 of 36 from the 3-point line as they held the Wizards to just 18 points in the third quarter to overcome a 14-point deficit. However, they scored just two points in the final 3:12 to allow the Wizards to slip away in the end.

Oklahoma City Thunder vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction
The Thunder are coming into this meeting with the same squad from Monday, while the Nets have already ruled out D'Angelo Russell, Cam Thomas, and Noah Clowney. The Thunder were arguably the hottest team in the league before they got taken down by the Timberwolves in a shocking defeat in their last outing. The Nets were in similar form as they too were on a nice run before they lost to the Wizards on Monday. The line was always going to be massive for this matchup, but the Thunder will be itching to get back on the court and atone for their last game. And I think they take their frustrations out on the unlucky Nets in this spot.
