Golden State Warriors vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction
The Warriors are still missing Seth Curry, Al Horford and De’Anthony Melton, while the Nets have ruled out Haywood Highsmith. The Warriors are coming into this game with a bit of momentum, but it is actually the Nets who have been in better form lately. They’ve won seven of their last 10 games overall, including their last three in a row.
This is the first meeting between these teams this season, but while the Warriors are correctly the favorites on the road, I still prefer the Nets, who looked fantastic in their big win over the Timberwolves on Saturday. This one could go either way, but I am leaning towards the Nets to get the win at home in this spot behind big games from Porter Jr and Thomas.
