The Brooklyn Nets (26-41) and San Antonio Spurs (14-53) meet Sunday. Tip-off from the Moody Center in Austin is set for 7 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Nets vs. Spurs odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Nets lead 1-0

The Nets are coming off a 121-100 loss against the Indiana Pacers Saturday with the Under (228.5) cashing in Indianapolis. Brooklyn, which led by as many as 9 in the 1st half, was outscored 62-43 after halftime and failed to cover as an 8-point underdog.

The Spurs lost 117-106 vs. the Denver Nuggets in Texas’ capital city (Austin) Friday as the Under (224.5) hit. F Jeremy Sochan had a team-high 19 points for the Spurs, who failed to cover as 10.5-point underdogs despite a record crowd for a sporting event at the Moody Center (16,223).

In their 1st regular-season meeting (Feb. 10), the Nets covered as 6-point home favorites with a 123-103 win over the Spurs with the Under (232) cashing in Brooklyn. G Dennis Schroder finished with 15 points and 12 dimes, the most assists by a player in his Nets debut since now-Clippers G James Harden had 14 Jan. 16, 2021.

Nets at Spurs picks and predictions

Prediction

Nets 111, Spurs 110

Moneyline

While I do like the Nets (+105) to win, I prefer paying 10 cents for the 1.5 points of insurance.

PASS. Take the points and/or bet the total instead.

Against the spread

The Spurs were -20 when C Victor Wembanyama was on the floor in last month’s meeting, which speaks to the job C Nic Claxton and the Nets as a whole did defensively on the Spurs rookie.

While I obviously wouldn’t predict a 20-point Nets win, Claxton may be uniquely qualified to slow down the Spurs’ No. 1 option in Wembanyama.

BET NETS +1.5 (-105).

Over/Under

The Nets looked lost offensively last time out, scoring just 100 points on the night against Indiana’s bottom-3 defense. However, the last time they scored 100 or fewer points — March 9 at the Charlotte Hornets — they responded with a 120-101 win the next night against the Cleveland Cavaliers, helping the Over (209) cash.

Look for the Nets to have a similar bounceback in Austin against a team they dropped 123 points against last Sunday.

BET OVER 217.5 (-115).

Nets at Spurs picks and predictions

Prediction

Nets 117, Spurs 114

Moneyline

PASS.

The Spurs should have a shot here as the Nets have lost 2 in a row, both at home. Nonetheless, the points are the better play here.

Against the spread

BET SPURS +6.5 (-115).

The Nets have struggled to cover as of late. They have failed to cover 3 straight games, 2 of which they were favorites in. Brooklyn has been without Durant for its last 2 games, losing 109-98 at home against the Boston Celtics and 112-102 at home against Oklahoma City.

The size and speed of F Keldon Johnson could cause trouble for the Nets with Durant sidelined. The Spurs have covered 5 of their last 7 and are 12-10 ATS at home as well.

Considering the Nets’ struggles, back SPURS +6.5 (-115).

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 234.5 (-108).

The Nets without Durant haven’t been the same beast offensively. Brooklyn has gone Under in 5 straight games and averaged 100 points per game over its last 2 (without KD).

The Spurs have gone Over in 5 straight games but it has been their opponents’ dominance that has forced most of those results. San Antonio has averaged 116 points per game in its last 2 games but has allowed 138 per game. The Nets won’t have that same pace that the Kings or Warriors (the Spurs’ last two opponents) play with.

Back the UNDER 234.5 (-108).

Nets at Spurs odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Spurs 118, Nets 116

Money line

BET the SPURS (-110) for 1 unit for a variety of reasons. First of all, the Spurs are better than their record indicates.

For example, San Antonio has the second-worst win differential based on adjusted net rating at a minus-4.1 but is fifth in ATS margin at plus-2.0, according to CleaningTheGlass.com (CTG). Essentially the Spurs have four fewer wins than they should.

Second, San Antonio gets a lot of easy buckets whereas Brooklyn gives up easy scores. The Spurs are 12th in points off of turnovers per game, fourth in second-chance points per game (PPG), ninth in fast-break PPG and second in paint PPG.

Whereas the Nets’ defense is 26th in points off of turnovers per game, 22nd in second-chance PPG, 27th in fast-break PPG and 17th in paint PPG allowed.

Also, San Antonio does a good job keeping foes off the free throw line, which is massively important when facing James Harden. In fact, the Nets are fourth in adjusted offensive free-throw rate and the Spurs are fourth in adjusted defensive free-throw rate, per CTG.

Furthermore, San Antonio is seventh in adjusted offensive rating at home, and Brooklyn struggles against good offenses (CTG). The Nets are 5-9 straight-up (SU) with a minus-3.8 adjusted net rating and the worst ATS margin at minus-6.8, per CTG.

Moreover, San Antonio is 6-1 ATS in its last seven games versus teams with a 60.0% winning percentage or better and 6-4 ATS at home versus teams with a winning record. These ATS trends are applicable since this game is priced as a coin-flip.

Finally, all the money is coming in on Brooklyn in this spot but the look-ahead line has dropped from the Nets -145 to the current price (according to Pregame.com). It feels like the sportsbooks are laying a trap with Brooklyn.

BET the SPURS (-110).

Against the spread

PASS since the Spurs +1.5 (-102) doesn’t provide much insurance for San Antonio’s money line (ML). However, if the Spurs’ spread goes north of +2.5 then I’d sprinkle on San Antonio’s ML and take the points with the Spurs.

Over/Under

Slight “LEAN” to the OVER 232.5 (-110) for a small wager, if at all, because I much prefer the San Antonio side more than the total.

That said, there are many Over-friendly trends in this game. The Spurs score a lot more points in San Antonio where they are 15-6-1 O/U. Brooklyn is 12-9 O/U on the road, and the Over is 5-0 in the last five Nets-Spurs meetings.

Brooklyn Nets at San Antonio Spurs odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Monday’s Brooklyn Nets at San Antonio Spurs NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Brooklyn Nets (22-13) travel to the AT&T Center Monday to play the San Antonio Spurs (17-12) at 8:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Nets-Spurs odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

Brooklyn had an 8-game winning streak snapped Saturday night in a 115-98 home loss to an improving Dallas Mavericks team. It was an off-shooting night for an otherwise unstoppable Nets offense partially due to G Kyrie Irving‘s absence.

The Spurs recently came off of a 10-day layoff due to COVID-19 issues and have split their two games since their return to the hardwood. San Antonio will still be without multiple contributors, but prior to the hiatus, the Spurs won five of six games and went 4-2 against the spread.

Nets at Spurs: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Spurs 117, Nets 114

Money line (ML)

Slight lean on SPURS (+165) for a tiny wager but San Antonio’s defense shows up against good offenses.

According to CleaningTheGlass.com, San Antonio is 5-3 overall with a plus-4.9-point spread differential against teams in the bottom-10 of defensive efficiency, and in those games, the Spurs are fourth in defensive efficiency whereas they’re fifth overall for the season.

Also, the Spurs presumably enter this matchup with a significant coaching advantage. San Antonio head coach Gregg Popovich should be able to find rotations and scheme up the Spurs to get great looks on a porous Brooklyn defense.

Against the spread (ATS)

Definitely bet SPURS +5 (-110) heavier or instead of the money line.

At the moment, Nets-Spurs is a Pros vs. Joes situation in the betting market with more than 70% of the money on San Antonio but more than 70% of the bets are with Brooklyn.

Typically, the sharp side of the market is the money column and the average joe is represented in the bets column. Let’s follow the sharp money and BET SPURS +5 (-110) for 1.25 units.

Over/Under (O/U)

PASS with a lean on Under 233.5 (-110).

The market is barreling into the Over and the fact Brooklyn scores on almost every opponent is holding me back from betting the total.
