Thunder vs. Nets: Point spread, betting odds, prediction (Jan. 10)

The Oklahoma City Thunder play the Brooklyn Nets and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, moneyline odds and over-under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet on BetMGM.

The game tips off at 5 p.m. and can be seen on FOX Sports Oklahoma.

The Thunder (4-4) are coming off back-to-back wins on this road trip. They took down the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday and the New York Knicks on Friday.

The Nets will have Kevin Durant back, the team announced, but will not have Kyrie Irving. They are 5-5 on the season.

How to watch: Thunder vs. Nets

Advice and prediction

Kevin Durant has averaged more than 30 points in the games he has played against the Thunder since departing in 2016, and I don’t expect less from him after missing the last three games due to coronavirus protocols.

His Achilles injury doesn’t appear to have changed him as a player, as he is still posting 28.2 points per game.

Oklahoma City played very sound defense against the Knicks and, with Kyrie Irving and Spencer Dinwiddie out, the team can focus hard on Durant. Neither Lu Dort nor Darius Bazley has matched up against Durant; how will they fare?

I don’t expect the Nets, who are third in the league in scoring, to fall to the Thunder, who are second-to-last. I’d take the under and Brooklyn on the spread.

Prediction: Nets 116, Thunder 103
