What to Know
After four games on the road, the Nets are heading back home. The Brooklyn Nets and the Oklahoma City Thunder will face off at 7:30 p.m. ET on January 5th at Barclays Center without much rest after finishing up games yesterday. Given that the pair suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this match.
It’s hard to win when your three-point shooting is a whole 19.2% worse than the opposition, a fact the Nets found out the hard way on Wednesday. They fell 112-101 to Houston.
Meanwhile, the Thunder unfortunately witnessed the end of their five-game winning streak on Wednesday. They fell just short of Atlanta by a score of 141-138. The close contest was extra heartbreaking for the Thunder, who almost overcame a 21 point deficit.
The Thunder’s defeat shouldn’t obscure the performances of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who dropped a double-double on 33 points and 13 rebounds, and Jalen Williams who scored 21 points along with six assists and four steals. Those 13 rebounds set a new season-high mark for him.
Brooklyn has not been sharp recently, as they’ve lost ten of their last 12 contests, which put a noticeable dent in their 15-20 record this season. As for Oklahoma City, their loss dropped their record down to 23-10.
Friday’s match is shaping up to be a scrappy game: The Nets have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 46.8 rebounds per game (they’re ranked second in rebounds per game overall). It’s a different story for the Thunder, though, as they’ve been averaging only 40.8 rebounds per game. Given the Nets’ sizeable advantage in that area, the Thunder will need to find a way to close that gap.
The Nets are hoping to beat the odds on Friday, as the experts think they’re headed for a loss. Bettors picking them against the spread have some confidence (to put it mildly), as the team is sitting on an eight-game streak of failing to cover when playing as the underdog.

Oklahoma Sooners 2026 Football Schedule Revealed
The Oklahoma Sooners are trying to finish the 2025 college football season with a championship run that begins with a first-round playoff matchup with the Alabama Crimson Tide on Dec. 19 in Norman. After a 10-2 season, the Sooners found out during the SEC schedule reveal when they’ll play their 2026 opponents.
New to the SEC schedule this year is a nine-game conference slate. Also, Oklahoma will begin at least a four-year stretch with permanent rivals Texas, Missouri, and Ole Miss.
The Sooners open the season with nonconference matchups against UTEP, Michigan, and New Mexico. Michigan will be breaking in a new head coach after the surprising dismissal of Sherrone Moore.
Oklahoma will go on the road for their first conference game, taking on the defending SEC champion Georgia Bulldogs on Sept. 26. That marks the first time the Sooners will play in Athens for the first time in the history of the program. The Bulldogs own the only win in the series, which came in the infamous 2017 Rose Bowl. If the Sooners were to play the Dawgs in the 2025 College Football Playoff, it would come in the national championship game.
After the trip to Georgia, Oklahoma will have its only bye week of the season before facing the Texas Longhorns in the Red River Showdown on Oct. 10 in the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas. The Sooners will return home to play the Kentucky Wildcats on Oct. 17. Kentucky will have a first-time head coach in Will Stein, leading the Wildcats to Norman for the first time since 1980.
Then, Oklahoma will go to Starkville to take on former offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby and the Mississippi State Bulldogs on Oct. 24 before closing the month welcoming another former assistant in Shane Beamer and the South Carolina Gamecocks on Oct. 31.
Then begins the month that will decide the Sooners’ College Football Playoff fates. They’ll open November with a road trip to the Swamp to take on the Florida Gators on Nov. 7. The last time the Sooners took on the Gators, Oklahoma earned a 55-20 win in the 2020 Alamo Bowl.
The Sooners will then return home on Nov. 14 to take on the Ole Miss Rebels in Norman for the second year in a row. Oklahoma lost a heartbreaker to the Rebels at the end of October, but that gave way to a magical November run that catapulted the Sooners into the College Football Playoff.
After the Rebels come to town, the Sooners will welcome the Texas A&M Aggies on Nov. 21. Texas A&M hasn’t been to Norman since a 41-25 win by Oklahoma. Landry Jones threw for 255 yards and two touchdowns, and Blake Bell ran for two scores out of the Belldozer package.
The Sooners will then close the season on the road against the Missouri Tigers. The former Big 8 and Big 12 foes have split their two contests as members of the SEC, each team winning at home. Oklahoma owns a decisive 68-25-5 record over the Tigers dating back to 1902.
There will be big expectations for the Sooners coming off of a 10-2 season and a College Football Playoff berth. They’ll bring back a lot of talent from this year’s roster, but 2026 will provide new challenges.
