It's Sunday, January 19, and the Brooklyn Nets (14-28) and the Oklahoma City Thunder (34-7) are all set to square off from Paycom Center in Oklahoma City.
This is the last game in a 6-game road trip for the Nets. Thus far they are 1-4 on the trip. Friday night they lost to LeBron James and the Lakers by 1, 102-101, at crypto.com Arena. Meanwhile, the Thunder are looking to bounce back from a rare loss. Friday night they were shocked by the Mavericks in Dallas, 106-98. Shea Gilgeous-Alexander did not play in that game (right wrist sprain). Consider checking the lineups once they are announced if the MVP candidate's availability weighs in your betting decision.
The Nets are currently 9-16 on the road with a point differential of -7, while the Thunder have a 10-0 record in their last ten games at home.
