Key Stats
Brooklyn Nets
The Brooklyn Nets are coming off a 115-94 loss on the road against the Detroit Pistons. Nic Claxton was subpar in the loss, with nine points, six rebounds, and five blocks in only 24 minutes. Claxton also had a team-low -23 when he was on the floor. Cam Johnson finished with only 13 points while shooting a horrendous 3/20 from the floor, including zero for 10 from three. With a record of 21-39 on the season, the Nets are in 11th place in the Eastern Conference. Maybe in a few seasons, the Nets will be a playoff contender in the East, but for now, they are just a fun and enjoyable team.
Brooklyn’s defense is subpar. They rank 10th in points allowed per game, 27th in opponent field goal percentage, 23rd in opponent three-point percentage, 25th in blocks per game, 18th in steals per game, 28th in rebounds per game, and 23rd in defensive writing. Regarding the Nets’ injuries, Noah Clowney has been ruled out with an ankle injury. Over their last 10 games, Brooklyn has a record of 4-6, including 5-4-1 against the spread.

Fox was a -22 on the floor and hit eight for 18. Devin Vassell scored 15 points and five assists while shooting seven for 16 from the floor. With a record of 25-34 on the season, the Spurs are in 13th place in the Western Conference.

In terms of injuries, this is a healthy team, excluding the Victor Wembanyama injury. Over their last 10 games, the Spurs have a record of 3-7, including 3-7-0 against the spread.
Prediction
The San Antonio Spurs will defend home court, defeat the Brooklyn Nets, and cover the 3.5-point spread in this game. Despite both teams not playing well over the last 10 games, I am riding with the slightly better team. I expect De’Aaron Fox to dominate this game and will get enough support from their role players to pull this game out late. San Antonio is also a better home than the away team, while the Nets are a horrendous road team. The San Antonio Spurs pull away late in this game and defeat the Brooklyn Nets.
Final Pick
San Antonio Spurs -3.5 (-105)
