Command Analysis
Oklahoma City Thunder
USACurrent form
Thunder are showing the best basketball in their conference, steamrolling most of their opponents. The team is in first place in the standings, gaining momentum with each match. However, in the last meeting, Oklahoma lost to Dallas (98:106).
Despite this, the Thunder offense and defense remain at their best. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the team leader, who consistently scores points and leads his teammates. Mark Daignault men feel confident at home, where they have lost only twice all season.
The match against Brooklyn will be a great opportunity for Oklahoma to redeem itself in front of its fans.
Disqualifications and injuries
Isaiah Hartenstein, Chet Holmgren, Ajay Mitchell and Nikola Topic are out next game with injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
The Thunder have won 4 of their last 5 head-to-head matches.
Tentative lineup: Williams - Dort, Williams - Wallace, Gilgeous-Alexander.
Brooklyn Nets
USACurrent form
The Nets are going through tough times. The team is located at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings and is at risk of ending up in the bottom three. In their last matches, Brooklyn lost to the Clippers (67:126) and the Lakers (101:102).
The game against the Lakers was especially frustrating, as the victory was lost in the final seconds. It is difficult to identify a consistent leader in the Nets' lineup, and the team actions on the court often seem uncoordinated.
The upcoming away game against Oklahoma will be a serious test, and in order to achieve a positive result, the visitors will have to demonstrate their maximum capabilities.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bojan Bogdanovic, Maxwell Lewis, De'Anthony Melton, Cameron Thomas and Trendon Watford are all out due to health issues.
Interesting facts for betting
The Nets have won just one of their last five games.
Preliminary lineup: Williams - Clowney, Claxton - Johnson, Simmons.
