Warriors vs. Nets Picks
Point Spread Pick for Warriors vs. Nets
- Brooklyn Nets to cover. (4 Units)
The Nets have won three of their last four home games, while the Warriors have lost four of their last six road games. Brooklyn has the edge here because they’re playing well offensively, scoring more than 110 points per game while making over 48 percent of their shots in their last three games. They’ve also done a better job at the charity stripe, making over 84 percent of their free throws during that span. They rebound the ball well and grab more than 11 offensive rebounds per game at home, which will give them more scoring chances. They also do a good job of protecting the ball at home, and won’t give up many easy-scoring chances. The Warriors aren’t very good defensively on the road, and they’re playing on consecutive nights, which means they will be dealing with fatigue, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Nets. Take Brooklyn to cover the spread.
Over/Under Pick for Warriors vs. Nets
- Under (4 Units)
The Warriors average 114.5 points per game. They play at the 19th-fastest pace in the league, averaging 103.6 possessions per game, and they’re facing a team that gave up 98 points per game in their last three games. The Nets average 109.8 points per game. They play at the 28th-fastest pace in the league, averaging 101.1 possessions per game, and they’re facing a team that gave up 109.7 points per game in their last three games. Don’t expect these teams to score enough points to push the score over the total.
