NBA Tuesday: Greg Frank picks Thunder vs Nets — with Kyrie Irving still out, should you take the over or under?

0-1 Monday, 63-63-1 overall.

Thunder (-1.5) @ Nets (215)

Pick: Under 215

This is an easy one for us. Both Oklahoma City and Brooklyn played on Monday. Who knows how long Kyrie Irving will be out for the Nets? Given Boston’s success with Irving sidelined when he was there and so far this season, you can certainly debate if Irving is a cancerous player who hogs the ball, but he can score even if it’s not in the most efficient manner. Brooklyn is averaging a shade over 106 points per game in the 24 games since Irving last played on November 14. While the Thunder had a nice offensive showing last night in Philadelphia, it’s clear that the Nets sans Irving are content playing low-scoring games and this should be another one. We’re not sure both teams reach the century mark here and this total has been bet down a couple points from the opening number and we’d follow the money.
