Golden State Warriors vs Brooklyn Nets prediction
I considered the Golden State Warriors and the free bucket, but they're banged up and just lost to the Hawks despite Curry having a career night. The Warriors are now 8-11 SU on the road. The Brooklyn Nets aren't covering numbers the way they were earlier in the season, but they've won 3 of their last 4 games and 12 of their 20 wins have come at home. This game could go either way, but the Nets are the healthier side and at home. Give me the Nets.
