Brooklyn Nets vs Oklahoma City Thunder NBA Preview
The Thunder are enormous 16.5-point favorites against the Nets in tonight's matchup coming out of the All-Star break.
As a result, we may see limited need for the Thunder's top players in this spot.
Even though the Thunder have ruled out a number of key players including Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams, that has not translated into a significant uptick in usage for Chet Holmgren.
We generally see that usage distributed more to the rest of the supporting cast, such as guys like Aaron Wiggins.
Nets vs Thunder Betting Predictions
Holmgren has played two games without both SGA and J-Dub this season — and he scored 17 and 16 points in those two games.
With only J-Dub sidelined, Holmgren is averaging 17.6 points per game, and has gone Under this mark in 14-of-25 games.
When the Thunder have closed as double-digit favorites, he’s also stayed Under this mark in 9-of-14 games.
Given that this is Brooklyn’s second game in as many days and the huge 16.5-point spread, I think there are plenty of paths to an Under here for Chet.
