Warriors Spotlight

The Golden State Warriors started their road-trip with a loss in Charlotte, while failing to cover the spread in the process. On the road, the Warriors have been wishy-washy as they rank 2nd in points per game, 18th in field goal percentage, and 20th in 3-point shooting. Defensively on the road, the Warriors rank 14th in points allowed, 22nd in field goal percentage, 18th in 3-point shooting, and 8th in rebounding. 

Nets Spotlight

The Brooklyn Nets just finished their six-game road trip, going 5-1 SU and 3-3 ATS. Their most recent victory came over the Oklahoma City Thunder, while they covered the 9-point spread in the process. The Nets head back home where their offense ranks 21st in points per game, 10th in field goal percentage, and 15th in 3-point shooting. Defensively at home, they have been one of the best where they rank 5th in points allowed, 1st in field goal percentage, 5th in 3-point shooting, and 24th in rebounding. 

Final Say

It has not been pretty for Golden State in their last three meetings with Brooklyn, going 0-3 SU and ATS, while they’ve lost by an average of 28 points during that time. The Warriors have actually gone 1-6 ATS in their last seven meeting with the Nets. What the Warriors have going for them is their biggest loss of the season was a 4-point loss, which just came to the Hornets so the points seem appealing. However, they’ll be without their x-factor in Draymond Green, and they haven’t shot as well on the road. The Nets are 14-1 ATS in their last 15 games against a Pacific division opponent, while they are 17-3 ATS in their last 20 games on a Tuesday. Rolling with the slight home faves in this one.

Pick: Brooklyn Nets -2.5
