The Oklahoma City Thunder are rolling, looking for their 10th win in a row as they visit the Brooklyn Nets.

Despite a crushing 7-1 record against BK in the last eight, my Thunder vs Nets predictions have the home team taking advantage of that pile of points.

While a straight-up upset isn’t in the cards, my NBA picks explain why OKC won’t cover the spread on Wednesday, March 18

Thunder vs Nets prediction

Thunder vs Nets best bet: Nets +19.5 (-110)

The Oklahoma City Thunder are playing the second half of a back-to-back after downing Orlando 113-108 on Tuesday. They are 2-9-0 against the spread in that scenario, second-worst in the NBA.

The Thunder have been stingy defensively during this run, allowing just 105.8 points per game, but they haven’t been blowing teams out. In fact, they only have two wins by double digits on this streak.

The Brooklyn Nets have been a good bet of late, going 4-2-0 ATS in their last six, and they’ve hung around with OKC, despite the losses, suffering just two 20+ point losses in the last eight meetings.

Thunder vs Nets same-game parlay

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is coming off a 40-bomb against the Magic, and his drop-off shouldn’t be that bad. He’s topped 40+ points four previous times, and his next game low was 29 points.

Chet Holmgren has been working the glass well of late, as he’s grabbed at least nine rebounds in nine straight games, going for double digits four times.

Our “from downtown” SGP: SGA Still Puts ‘Em Away

Let’s stick with the presumptive 2026 NBA MVP to fill out this SGP. Though he’s had one or fewer 3-point makes in five of the last six vs. BK, Gilgeous-Alexander has hit at least two triples in four straight games overall.

And SGA’s rebound numbers have been decent during this streak, averaging 4.8 boards per game, but he’s grabbed at least six rebounds in six of his last eight vs Brooklyn.
