Although OKC is a massive 18-point favorite on Friday, February 20, there\u2019s plenty of value in the Brooklyn Nets keeping it close in the first half.<\/p>\n

Nets vs Thunder prediction<\/p>\n

Nets vs Thunder best bet: Nets +10.5 first half (-110)<\/p>\n

The Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a> are just 2-3 SU and 2-2-1 ATS in the five games without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander<\/a>, dropping to 18th in net rating over that span.<\/p>\n

Missing the reigning MVP is one thing, but with Jalen Williams<\/a> also out, this is a different challenge.<\/p>\n

Make no mistake, the Brooklyn Nets<\/a> aren\u2019t a strong team, but given who\u2019s out for OKC, it could take a quarter or two for them to get going.<\/p>\n

There are just too many points here, so I\u2019ll take the Nets to keep it close in the first half.<\/p>\n
