The Brooklyn Nets will be eager to snap a five-game losing streak when they host the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA. Brooklyn is ninth in the Eastern Conference while the Thunder are flying high in the West and sit second. The Nets have lost five straight games. This is the second time in the last three weeks that they have lost as many consecutive matches. Jacque Vaughn’s men are now five games below .500 after losing 20 matches. Returning home after a three-game road trip to the West should have them confident of ending this skid. Brooklyn, who are 9-8 at home, were defeated 112-101 last time out by the Rockets. Lonnie Walker IV and Dennis Smith Jr. have been listed as ‘Questionable’ for this game.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are coming off a 141-138 defeat to the Hawks. It was the first game of a four-game road trip to the East and ended a five-game winning streak. Mark Daigneault’s men possess the fourth-best record in the NBA and will be eager to get back to winning ways. They have also only once lost back-to-back games this season and their strong form against the Nets should have them confident of success. OKC, who have won 23 of their 33 fixtures, have won four straight against the Nets. They won the first meeting of the season earlier this week 124-108 at home. Jaylin Williams has been listed as ‘Questionable’ for the visitors for this match. He is the only potential absentee.
