12/4 NBA Free Pick

Record 37-18-1

OKC-3.5@BKN


Brooklyn will be without BroLo for the third straight game and even if Blatche is playing well he doesn't bring the same inside presence that Lopez does. Even Brook Lopez is not a great defender. Durant and Westbrook have been playing out of their minds in the Thunder's winning streak with KD shooting above 60% and Westbrook dishing out 10 dimes and wreaking havoc on the defensive end having recorded a 7 steal game and a 3 steal game the past two. The only worry I have is Gerald Wallace bullying Kevin Durant in the post like he did last season in Portland. Yes Gerald Wallace overpowered Durant offensively as a Trailblazer last season and of course matches up well defensively. But this is a different Durant and a hungry Thunder team. The Nets were up big to a half-awake Miami team at the half but still managed to blow the lead and not even cover as a 9 point dog. The Thunder unlike Miami bring it right from the opening tip. The Thunder are just playing too well right now and the Nets are banged up.
