Spurs at Nets picks and predictions
Prediction
Nets 125, Spurs 115
Moneyline
PASS.
The Nets are surging and rightfully strong favorites, but at (-600), they are unplayable to win outright. Brooklyn is 12-5 at home this season while San Antonio is 5-11 on the road.
Against the spread
BET SPURS +12.5 (-112).
The Spurs have been competing well lately and are 3-1 ATS in their last 4. Against top sides like Dallas and Utah, they were able to lose by 1 and win outright.
The presence of F Keldon Johnson should aid both limiting F Kevin Durant and the flowing of the Spurs attack. Brooklyn has been favorites of double digits just once in its last 10, a 143-113 win over Golden State.
The Spurs are a well-coached team should be able to keep this game within 13. The Nets are just 1-3 ATS as a double-digit favorite this season.
Back the SPURS +12.5 (-112).
Over/Under
LEAN OVER 235.5 (-110).
The Spurs have gone over in 9 of their last 10 and in 7 straight. While their offense has been playing well, scoring at least 120 in 3 of their last 4, the Spurs defense has been awful, allowing at least 120 in 5 of their last 6.
The Nets have 2 elite playmakers who should be able to abuse the league’s worst defense by efficiency. The Spurs also rank 10th in pace, so they should want to push the tempo.
Brooklyn is 6-4 O/U in its last 10 as well. Considering the trends and the porous Spurs defense, back the OVER 235.5 (-110).
