I could be getting suckered in here but I had to take the bait and hit OKC when line opened.
After having OKC +220 at home Saturday night and winning with ease over the Nuggets, I see no reason not to take a bundle of points vs. a questionable Nets team.
Brook Lopez should be back tonight, and he is easily the best and most important player on the Nets, but I liked what I saw with OKC the other night, and the Nets are not a team that can consistently lay that many points, especially early in the season. It's not like Ibaka is a pushover and Brook is going to come off his injury dominating this game.
Not in love with anyone on the card today, this is the best play available IMO.
Moneyline is short here and doesn't have good value.
I can see this line dropping to 5 by gametime.
Possible middle play at halftime if OKC can play a good first half. Will definitely be looking at this option.
On a nice heater to open up the NBA season, let's keep it going.
THUNDER +7
BOL boys.
