Nets at Warriors picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 118, Nets 115

Moneyline

PASS.

While the moneyline has good value, the Nets are on their 4th game of this road trip and may struggle to pull away. They should be able to keep pace, though.

Against the spread

BET NETS +3.5 (-115).

The Nets have the 2nd-best ATS record in the NBA and the 5th-best ATS road record in the league. They are 7-4 ATS on the road while the Warriors have failed to cover in 5 straight games at home.

However, Golden State has outright lost just 2 of those, so it frequently doesn't cover but wins at Chase Center. The Warriors are sliding and have lost 3 straight. They will be without Green for the foreseeable future, which hurts them on both sides of the court.

Given the season-long trends and his absence, take NETS +3.5 (-115).

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 234.5 (-105).

The Nets have gone Under in 4 of their last 5 games. They have held 4 of their last 6 opponents to 113 or fewer points. Brooklyn has scored over 116 points in just 2 of its last 5.

The Warriors have gone over 116 in just 1 of their last 5 games. Without the facilitator that Green is, they could struggle to find a flow offensively as well. Take UNDER 234.5 (-105).
