Brooklyn Nets vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction
The Nets are still missing a few players in Haywood Highsmith, Drake Powell and Danny Wolf who are all out, while the Spurs will again be without De’Aaron Fox, Jeremy Sochan, Kelly Olynyk and Lindy Waters. The Nets have yet to win a game this season, but they were more than competitive on Friday, where they rallied to cut a 25-point deficit to just one point. In contrast, the Spurs have emerged as one of the surprise teams of the league at this early stage of the season, and it has been Wembenyama leading the way on both ends of the floor.
The line is hefty for this matchup, which certainly makes the Nets tempting here, but even though the Spurs are shorthanded, I think they will win this one comfortably at home behind another monster game from Wembenyama.
