NBA Odds for Thursday, November 16, 2023

Brooklyn Nets at Miami Heat

• Opening Point-Spread: Heat -3
• Opening Money-Line: Heat -140
• Opening Total: 220.5
• Time: 7:30 p.m. ET (NBA TV)

The Miami Heat return home from a perfect 4-0 road trip as they host the Brooklyn Nets tonight, looking to avenge a loss earlier this month.

The Nets topped the Heat, 109-105 as seven-point road underdogs on November 1. Miami built a 10-point halftime lead before Brooklyn rallied back to outscore the Heat, 63-49 in the second half.

Since that loss, the Heat are on fire by winning six consecutive games, capped off by a 111-105 road victory against Charlotte on Tuesday. The Heat seek their first home cover of the season tonight as Miami owns an 0-4 ATS mark at the Kaseya Center.

Brooklyn crushed Orlando on Tuesday, 124-104 for its second straight win, while compiling the top ATS mark in the league this season at 9-1-1.

Oddmakers have the Heat currently as a four-point home favorite after opening up as three-point chalk. The total sits at 217 following an overnight opener of 220.

Oklahoma City Thunder at Golden State Warriors

• Opening Point-Spread: Thunder -2.5
• Opening Money-Line: Thunder -135
• Opening Total: 227
• Time: 10:00 p.m. ET

The Golden State Warriors will be down two key members tonight when they welcome in the Oklahoma City Thunder to Chase Center.

Stephen Curry is sidelined with a knee injury, while Draymond Green is serving a five-game suspension for his role in a skirmish in Monday's home loss to Minnesota.

The Thunder look to avenge a last-second home loss to the Warriors earlier this month, 141-139. Oklahoma City covered as 6.5-point home underdogs but have lost nine of the last 10 matchups with Golden State.

Oddmakers have the Thunder as slight road favorites in this contest with the total sitting at 227.
