Spurs vs. Nets Prediction & Pick

The Nets have lost both of their games since star Kevin Durant went down with a brutal MCL sprain. It's clear Brooklyn going to need some time to adjust, but it cannot afford to fall too low in the NBA standings. The good news is that a matchup against the Spurs lines up as a great spot to get right.

San Antonio ranks last in defensive efficiency this season and is also allowing an NBA-worst 120.0 points per home game. The Nets should see a lot of wide open shots, which is crucial considering they are shooting a reliable 50.8% from the floor this year (No. 2 in NBA). This lines up as a mismatch.

Brooklyn has won six straight games against San Antonio, too, so back the Nets with confidence.

Final Score Prediction: Spurs: 116 | Nets: 122

Spurs vs. Nets Best Bet

The betting value in this game lies in the point total. It's already been mentioned how advantageous a matchup the Brooklyn offense draws tonight. Well, it's worth pointing out that the Nets average the fifth-most personal fouls per away game (21.9). San Antonio could get to the free throw line often.

Expect a Spurs team that plays at the fifth-fastest pace in the NBA to attempt to speed this game up as well, which is just another reason to back the over. The total has hit the over in 13 of San Antonio's last 15 games overall and in six of its last seven games against Brooklyn. Root for points on Tuesday.

Bet: Over 232.5 Points (-108)
