.The Bobcats go into this one with a 33% winning record, and naturally as underdogs against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Larry Brown will be sure to keep an eye on the Oklahoma City streak (L 1), but the key against Thunder will be containing Kevin Durant, Russel Westbrook and Jeff Green. The Bobcats point differential is -5.3 this season (good for number 24 in the NBA), but not as good as the Oklahoma City Thunder’s average winning margin of 2 in the 2010-2011 NBA season.
Playing on the road, the Thunder will need to play to their strengths and their 26.5 free throws made per game is their strongest statistical attribute (and 1st in the whole league in that area). Scott Brooks’s team is 19-9 this season and today will hope to improve their 9-4 record away from Ford Center.
Charlotte have been dominating their opponents this season in the total rebounds departement, with a 3 total rebounds differential advantage over their opponents on average over the season. Their 6.2 blocks average per game is 3rd best in the NBA, and that will be an area that Scott Brooks and his coaching staff will want to balance out today if they want to dampen the Bobcats’ 6-6 home record.The fans in the Time Warner Cable Arena are in for a treat today and if you want to join them and watch Bobcats vs Thunder online live streaming on NBA League Pass or on your TV – then make sure to tune in at 19:00 ET today.
