The Nets are free-falling fast and hard. Can they finally get that elusive win or are they in for a beating against the visiting Thunder?

HOME TEAM: Brooklyn Nets (16-19, 9-7 at home)

It’s just a frustrating time to be a Brooklyn Nets fan. The team has now lost six-straight games and every other loss seems to be getting worse. On Tuesday, the Nets bowed to the Orlando Magic, 101-89, by producing their third-lowest scoring output and second-lowest field goal percentage (33.3%) of the season.

Spencer Dinwidde, who has been the group’s best source of offense ever since Kyrie Irving and Caris LeVert went down with injuries, will coming off an off-night yet again. He had 16 points on 6-for-19 shooting versus the Magic – it matched his lowest point total since early November and fourth time shooting below 39% in six games.

With Dinwiddie showing signs of an impending slump, Joe Harris (14.6 PPG), Taurean Waller-Prince (12.1 PPG), Garrett Temple (10.6 PPG), and Jarrett Allen (11.4 PPG, 9.8 RPG) must be able to step up.

ROAD TEAM: Oklahoma City Thunder (20-16, 8-10 on the road)

The Oklahoma City Thunder got their five-game winning streak halted on Tuesday by the Philadelphia 76ers, 120-113. It was a solid run as they had wins over the defending champion Toronto Raptors on the road and a defense-powered performance over the Luka Doncic-led Dallas Mavericks.

The Thunder are still looking good overall. They are still winners in nine of their last 11 games and hold the seventh seed in the Western Conference. The Billy Donovan-guided defense, meanwhile, is still fairly respectable at the 11th spot (107.3 PPG).

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will remain as the Thunder’s best weapon. The second-year guard leads the team in scoring and he’s averaging 24.2 points in his last 10 games. Chris Paul (16.3 PPG), Danilo Gallinari (18 PPG), top Sixth Man of the Year candidate Dennis Schroder (18.6 PPG), and bruising big man Steven Adams (11.6 PPG, 9.9 RPG) is right behind SGA in that list.

PREDICTION:

The Dinwiddie-SGA match-up should be fun as both are young guards who can score in bunches, but since both squads are playing on consecutive nights, don’t be surprised if someone from the bench heats up.

The Thunder should be able to pull out a 109-104 road win and add to the Nets’ growing pains.
