Oklahoma City Thunder vs New Jersey Nets
The Thunder go into this one with a 66% winning record, and naturally as favorites over the New Jersey Nets. Scott Brooks will be sure to keep an eye on the New Jersey streak (L 2), but the key against Nets will be containing Devin Harris, Brook Lopez and Anthony Morrow. The Thunder point differential is 1.8 this season (good for number 12 in the NBA), and better than the New Jersey Nets’s average losing margin of -5.1 in the 2010-2011 NBA season.
Playing on the road, the Nets will need to play to their strengths and their 19.3 free throws made per game is their strongest statistical attribute (and 10th best in the whole league in that area). Avery Johnson’s team is 9-22 this season and today will hope to improve their 3-13 record away from Izod Center.
Oklahoma City have been dominating their opponents this season in the free throws made departement, with a 7.8 free throws made differential advantage over their opponents on average over the season. Their 26.2 free throws made average per game is 1st in the NBA, and that will be an area that Avery Johnson and his coaching staff will want to balance out today if they want to dampen the Thunder’ 11-6 home record.The fans in the Ford Center are in for a treat today and if you want to join them and watch Thunder vs Nets online live streaming on NBA League Pass or on your TV – then make sure to tune in at 20:00 ET today.
