Who's with me on this?
How much does OKC need to do to convince us we should start taking them serious? New Jersey's home form needs no introduction. The tendency for New Jersey to underrate these ambitious lads will be there. In sports, hunger facilitates upsets. I see OKC being the hungrier of these two sides on this occasion.
I see a game in which OKC wins the 1H by about 5-8 points. The notion that "we can come back against them in the 2H" will be there among the Nets. The 2H line will be like Nets -7. Everyone will pour all they have on Nets in the 2H but OKC maintains their lead in the 2H to post an admirable upset.
I like it. The Nets are garbage at home. Harris is starting but he might still be a bit shaky coming off his injury. Unless Carter has a huge night it will be close. I think OKC wins this enough to make it a +EV bet. Line can be found at up to +250 making it worth while for a small wager. Good catch Wilforth, and good luck.
