This is a matchup where the Thunder own an advantage at every position, up and down the roster.

Brook Lopez has been soft since Stanford so there's nothing to worry about down low against Steven Adams.

Russ vs. Jeremy Lin? Come on.

The only Nets player to watch is Bojan Bogdanovic (nazdravlje!). He's a bit of an unknown, the third leading scorer in Brooklyn, with a pretty good shot (45 percent this season).

He the exact type of player the Thunder defense is notorious for letting slip loose for a career game. His three-point percentage is down this season. His career high is 44 points against Philadelphia last March where he went four of nine from the arc. He doesn't take a lot of threes unless he's feeling it. If the Thunder can hamper him on the edge, they can funnel him inside to their bigs where he'll have a harder time scoring.

This game will be a good gauge to find out how the Thunder treat a lesser opponent. Coming off a big win (which is weird to say barely halfway through November) against Houston, the Thunder have a chance to show not every game will be a nail biter.

The Nets do not have a killer if this game does come down to the final minute. With the amount of close games the Thunder have won this year, they should be able to get the job done. This is not a game that should take 30 real minutes to finish the final two game minutes.
