Warriors vs. Nets Odds, Lines, Totals
The Warriors are reeling. Not only have they cratered on the road, where they’re 3-15 compared to a 12-2 home mark, but they’re without Steph Curry for the foreseeable future. They’re 1-4 against the spread over their last five, but have hit the Over in each of those contests.
Brooklyn, meanwhile, appears to be clicking – for now. They’re 9-1 straight-up over their last 10 (4-5-1 ATS). They have been hitting Overs as well, with a 5-1 mark across their last six.
Warriors vs. Nets Player Props & Same Game Parlays
Kevin Durant Over 32.5 Points + Assists
Durant has been lethal of late, averaging 32.7 points on staggering efficiency across his last 10 games. He’s shooting 63.3 percent on 19.6 attempts over that span. It doesn’t hurt to have Kyrie Irving back in the fold and focused on basketball (for the time being). Poke around the top NBA betting sites for the best value on this number.
An important factor to consider here is Durant’s apparent pettiness. Considering his sensitive nature, he will likely have a little bit of an extra itch to stick it to a Warriors team that’s struggling at the moment. If he can’t light up the scoreboard all by himself – the Warriors, namely Draymond Green, won’t want to allow a big performance – he’ll have Irving to pick up the slack.
Ben Simmons Under 22.5 Points + Assists + Rebounds
We’re siding with the Under in this spot despite the Nets laying double-digits as home favorites. Simmons simply isn’t getting enough playing time in recent games as the team tries to manage his knee soreness.
Simmons can still chip in across the boxscore in limited minutes. But if this game gets as out of hand as oddsmakers suggest, the Nets won’t feel the need to push him.
Warriors vs. Nets Under + Kevin Durant Over 28.5 Points
Both of these teams have been playing to the Over with frequency, but we’re going to pivot. The Warriors are playing in the second leg of a back-to-back. They managed to shoot 47.3 percent on Tuesday night, but still only managed 94 points against the New York Knicks.
Without Klay Thompson’s shooting up to par, there’s simply not enough offense to rely upon. Should the Nets dominate to the degree expected, we could see them take the foot off the pedal just enough to stay Under the total.
That doesn’t mean Durant can’t still get his though. He’s scoring with outrageous efficiency and is vengeful enough to want to stick it to his former team.
