Brooklyn Nets Betting Preview

The Brooklyn Nets have been in a major slump as they've lost eight of their last 10 games overall. However, they will be feeling much better after they snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 111-108 home win over the Lakers last night. Noah Clowney led the team with 19 points off the bench, Cameron Johnson and Keon Johnson scored 18 points each while Tyrese Martin chipped in with 14 points. As a team, the Nets shot just 41 percent from the field and 18 of 45 from the 3-point line as they dominated the second quarter by 32-19 to erase an early 15-point lead. Before they pulled away late in the fourth quarter to escape with the narrow win despite missing some free throws down the stretch.

Cleveland Cavaliers Betting Preview 

Meanwhile, the Cleveland Cavaliers have been on fire for a while now as they've won 18 of their last 19 games overall and they will be gunning for a 15th straight victory after outlasting the Bucks in a 112-100 road win on Sunday. Max Strus led the team in scoring with 17 points, Donovan Mitchell added 15 points with five rebounds and six assists while Evan Mobley and Darius Garland chipped in with 13 points each. As a team, the Cavaliers shot 44 percent from the field and 19 of 47 from the 3-point line, but this win was more about their defense as they took control of the contest in the second quarter. They held the Bucks to just 20 points to take a 19-point lead before they rested their starters early. The Cavaliers will meet the Grizzlies, Magic, and Clippers after this game.

Brooklyn Nets vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction

The Nets are still playing without Cam Thomas and Trendon Watford, while the Cavaliers are expected to have a full squad for this meeting. The Nets were able to pull off a nice upset over a shorthanded Lakers squad last night, but they were absolutely ice-cold before that win. It's going to be hard to replicate that effort on zero days rest against the hottest team in the league. The Cavaliers are just on another level right now, and it's no surprise to see them as such heavy favorites at home. There is every chance that the Nets can go on a late run to get the backdoor cover in this matchup, but I think we're going to see a letdown performance from them after their big win last night. The Cavaliers have already beaten the Nets three times this season and I think they make it a season sweep with a massive win at home.
