The Brooklyn Nets are still trying to recover from the loss of Kevin Durant. They’re 5-5 in their last 10 games and have fallen to fourth in the Eastern Conference as a result.
Things won’t get any easier for them tonight when they head to California to take on the Warriors, who are 17-5 at home this season.
So how should we bet on this game? Well, let’s dive into the odds and then I’ll give you my best bet for this interconference showdown.

Nets vs. Warriors prediction and pick
The Golden State Warriors have their big three playing tonight, Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green, and they’re on their home court where they’ve dominated all season.
This seems like a great spot to bet on the Warriors to win and cover against a depleted Brooklyn team.
The Warriors have the second highest three point rate in the NBA, with 48.6% of their shots coming from beyond the arc. Now, they get to take on a Nets team that’s 20th in the associated in opponent three point field goal percentage, allowing teams to shoot 36.4% from three point land.
I also expect the Warriors, including Draymond Green, to clean up in the rebounding department in this game. The Nets have really struggled on the boards since losing Durant, grabbing just 44% of rebounds over their last three games.
