Prediction

Nets 121, Pacers 110

Moneyline (ML)

The NETS (-167) are 3-2 on the moneyline at home and 5-7 overall. On the other hand, Indiana is 2-4 away from home but one of those wins came last month in Brooklyn by a 118-108 score. Brooklyn wants revenge for that clunker and so does Irving, who had one of his worst performances of the season.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on Brooklyn returns a profit of $5.99.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

After a weird 0-4 start against the spread which included an 0-2 mark at home, Brooklyn has covered two of its last three contests at Barclays Center. Indiana is 2-4 against the spread on the road but comes close to the cover line. The same goes for Brooklyn of late.

BROOKLYN (-3.5, -115) will cover against the Pacers. The Nets can put up 120-plus points per game and the Pacers may not be able to keep up in the fourth quarter.

A $10 wager here results in a profit for $8.70 if Brooklyn covers.

Over/Under (O/U)

The projected total is set at 218.5. It seems like a rather low number and these two teams could exceed it easily if they play to their pace. Brooklyn must crank up the shot volume like Indiana did to them last month. Side with the OVER at -115.

Prediction

Bulls 115, Nets 112

Moneyline (ML)

The -139 line for the BULLS is not terrible given the uncertainty of Irving’s shoulder.

Can Chicago keep up with Brooklyn’s pace? The answer is yes and becomes a resounding yes depending on how Irving looks. Brooklyn cannot stop anyone defensively (119.5 points per game allowed) and has lost three straight games.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Bulls to win outright returns a profit of $7.19.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The slightly better play for this game is taking the BULLS with the -2.5 points at -106 odds. A Chicago cover here (win by three or more points) returns a greater profit of $9.43.

Chicago is 3-2 at home against the spread, but is 4.7 points off the projections due to an early 108-84 blowout home loss against the Toronto Raptors on Oct. 26. Since that game, Chicago has been above projections at home.

Over/Under (O/U)

Lean slightly to the UNDER 231.5 (-125). Watch the numbers here as it will all depend on the status of Irving. That being said, Chicago plays a little more stout on defense and can limit possessions somewhat. It could be enough to keep this game just under 230.

Nets-Nuggets: Key injuries

Nets-Nuggets: Odds, lines, picks and betting tips

NBA odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 10 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Nuggets 111, Nets 99

Moneyline (ML)

PASS. The Nuggets (-455) are expensive on the moneyline whether or not Irving is able to play. It’s a good idea to avoid this line completely.

New to sports betting? Every $1 wagered that Denver wins profits $0.22 if the Nuggets prevail. (Ex: Bet $10 to win $2.20, $20 to win $4.40, $45.50 to win $10).

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

Take the NUGGETS (-9, –110) regardless if Kyrie plays or not. Keep in mind you’ll be going against all of the series trends, as the Nets (+9, -110) are 5-1 ATS in the past six trips to Denver, 9-2 ATS in the past 11 meetings, and the underdog is 6-2 ATS in the past eight in this series.

However, those series trends are all when the Nets did not have Irving in their backcourt. Of course, that might also be the case Thursday might, too.

Over/under (O/U)

With Irving’s availability in doubt, question, the O/U is off the board as of this publishing.

However, if the line is posted, the UNDER (whatever it is) the play regardless of Irving’s status, as Denver’s recent trends drive this pick. The under is 4-1 ATS in the past five overall for the Nuggets, while going 11-2 in their past 13 against Eastern Conference foes and 18-7 ATS in the past 25 at home.

Nets at Jazz: Odds, lines, picks, and betting tips

NBA odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 9:30 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Jazz 115, Nets 105

Moneyline (ML)

The -250 line for the JAZZ at home is not outrageous. Utah is 5-0 at home in the early going where the Nets are just 1-3 on the road.

Utah allows just 98.1 points per game on the season. Brooklyn scores at nearly 120 points per night. That is quite a contrast in styles. Utah can adapt better than Brooklyn and play much better defense.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Jazz to win outright returns a profit of $4.00. It’s a touch chalky, but it’s better than risking this on a Brooklyn (+200) team that has trouble keeping teams from scoring.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The better play for this tilt is taking the JAZZ with the -6.5 points at -110 odds. A Utah cover here at those odds produces a tidy $9.09 profit – doubling the moneyline outcome.

Brooklyn is 1-3 against the spread on the road and is 7.2 points off projections which makes a Utah cover more likely. Utah is 3-2 ATS at home and exactly six points per game above the cover line.

Over/Under (O/U)

Let’s take the OVER 217.5 (-125). Yes, Utah can clamp down on defense but Brooklyn’s defense is bad enough to push totals up.

Don’t expect Kenny Atkinson to change Nets starting lineup yet

The Brooklyn Nets are off to a rocky start, but Kenny Atkinson isn’t going to make a personnel change just yet.

Brooklyn’s starting five had a rough go against the Phoenix Suns — to put it mildly.

Kyrie Irving was the only one in double figures. Even then, he wasn’t at his best, finishing 1-for-6 from three while failing to earn a trip to the free-throw line.

Jarrett Allen hardly played because he was in foul trouble so early.

Joe Harris missed all four of his 3-point attempts.

Taurean Prince went 3-for-5 from the floor (2-for-3 from three), but made mistakes elsewhere throughout the game and played a measly 17 minutes as a result — only five more minutes than Allen.

Caris LeVert was the only Nets starter who didn’t have a -20 plus-minus or worse (-15), but he still didn’t play his best game.

While the loss to Phoenix was next-level for the Nets, they’ve consistently struggled defensively in the first quarter to start the year. Even after acknowledging the issue, Kenny Atkinson isn’t ready to change Brooklyn’s starting lineup.

I’m not ready to go there after one bad game.
