Advice and prediction
Coming into the season you’d expect this matchup to be about relentless offenses running up the score, but the Warriors and Nets are two of the best defensive teams in the league. The under is 9-5 in Nets games this season, and 9-4 in Warriors games. With the Nets’ missing a couple of key pieces, Joe Harris, Nic Claxton and Paul Millsap, I’d be surprised if they hit 110 points in what should be a close game. Take the under 220.5.
Also, with the Nets being short-handed, I’d expect Patty Mills to get plenty of shot attempts. His point total is set at 12.5, but he’s coming off a 29-point explosion against the Thunder. Take the over on Mills.
Prediction: Warriors 112, Nets 107
