Thunder vs Nets predictions, picks
Justin Martinez: OKC 116, Brooklyn 99
OKC remains without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell. Those are all key shot creators, but I still think the Thunder will be able to keep up on the scoreboard Friday. Brooklyn ranks last in the NBA in both points per game (107.2) and field goal percentage (44.4%), and it’ll surely struggle against an elite OKC defense. Give me the Thunder at home.
