Betting on the Brooklyn Nets
- Season record: 27-15
After a difficult start to the campaign, the Nets changed their coach and solved some off-court problems to get into a truly spectacular moment. The team even managed to string together 12 wins in a row. However, they now have to deal with Kevin Durant’s injury. The player is expected to return in mid-February, and his absence impact has shown on the team recently.
The two games that the Nets have played following Durant’s injury have ended in losses. Indeed, the most recent loss they suffered was last Sunday at home and against the Oklahoma City Thunder,which is one of the worst teams in the West. This was a game in which the Nets were ahead by ten points, but that ended up losing by a 15 point difference in the last quarter. The game ended in a 112-102 score.
Allowing nearly 40 points in a quarter is disappointing, but what concerns the Net’s coach, Jacque Vaughn, the most is the performance of his offense. It has become clear that Kyrie Irving’s caliber is not enough to carry the team, and that they will miss Durant’s average of 29.7 points per game..
Betting on the San Antonio Spurs
- Season record: 13-30
The difficult moment the Nets are going through will be something the Spurs will try to take advantage of. The Spurs arrive to this game while still struggling. They have the fourth-worst record in the NBA, and they are in second-to-last place in the Western Conference, trailing the Rockets by three wins only.
Although they have not been a team that stood out offensively, averaging 112.5 points scored per game, the Spurs’ defense has been their main problem. The team’s defense is the worst in the league with a terrible average of 121.5 points allowed per game.The team also allows a 50.6 % success rate in shots from the field to their opponents.
JefeBet Prediction
With Durant out of action, the Nets have to find another player to back up Irving. This could be very well be done by Seth Curry, Nick Claxon or T.J. Warren, all of whom will have a great opportunity to try to fill their teammate’s shoes. In this Nets vs Spurs game they will be playing against one of the worst defenses in the league, and one that is used to suffer even against the worst offenses.
Also, the Nets have kept doing things decently on defense, so they’ll probably do a good job against a home offense that isn’t usually very productive either.
Although the Spurs have a better record at home, those numbers do not make change much when playing at home, so we expect to see a better performance from the Nets this time, being solid until the end and taking the victory.
Prediction: Brooklyn Nets Spread.
