Spurs at Nets picks and predictions
Prediction
Spurs 116, Nets 107
Moneyline
PASS.
The Nets will be without 3 of their top 4 scoring options. They may struggle to keep pace with a healthy Spurs team. Considering the size of favorite San Antonio is here, there is no reasonable moneyline play.
Against the spread
BET SPURS -6.5 (-115).
The Spurs have closed as a favorite in 2 of their last 4 games and covered in each. They are 4-3 ATS in their last 7 as a favorite. San Antonio has scored at least 114 points in 5 of its last 7, so it should be able to score enough to separate itself by at least this margin.
The Nets are 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games, scoring 101 points or fewer in 4 of their last 5 and failing to top 95 points twice in the last 3 games. With that in mind, take SPURS -6.5 (-115).
Over/Under
BET OVER 213.5 (-110).
The Spurs have gone over in 7 of their last 9 games and are 17-13 O/U on the season. While they have scored efficiently as of late, they have allowed at least 111 points in 3 of their last 4 contests as well.
The Nets are 4-3 O/U in their last 7 games, allowing at least 110 points in 4 of those and scoring at least 111 points in 3. Considering those trends, back OVER 213.5 (-115).
