Why Bet on Golden State Warriors?

Curry made a floating shot with 14 seconds left in the fourth quarter to give the Warriors a 123-121 lead. However, Dejounte Murray made a pullup shot with 4.6 seconds remaining to tie the score at 123-all. The Warriors had a chance to win the game but Curry’s attempt on a drive missed, sending the game into overtime.

Jonathan Kuminga had 16 points and has scored in double digits in 26 straight, a career high and the longest in a single season for a Warrior since Curry’s 56-game streak (10/18-4/9/23).

Wiggins is doubtful for Monday but Dario Saric has been upgraded to probable after missing the past two with an illness, and Moses Moody, who suffered a grade 1 strain of his left calf on Jan. 10 vs. New Orleans, is no longer on the injury report so he should play.

Why Bet on Brooklyn Nets?

“That’s Mr. 40 for you,” Lonnie Walker IV said of Thomas. “I mean, this is nothing new. … He’s a magician when it comes to putting the ball in the hoop. It’s like he puts a magnet on the ball every time he shoots that ball.”

Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) has missed all three of those games, Ben Simmons has missed one, and Dennis Smith (foot) was out Saturday, so when all three are available to play, Walker is a candidate to have his playing time squeezed.

Miles Bridges had 23 points and is fourth in the NBA in ‘clutch’ points (98), trailing only Stephen Curry (152), Damian Lillard (100) and Trae Young (100). Bridges ranks ninth in the league in total minutes played (1,684). He led this category in each of the last two seasons.

Nic Claxton had 12 points, 15 rebounds and four blocks in the win. Claxton ranks ninth in the league in defensive rebound % (.244). He is sixth in the league in bpg (2.2) and is ninth in total blocks (83) and He also ranks 11th in rpg (10.5) and is 10th in orpg (3.0). Claxton ranks sixth in the league in FG % (205-of-322 – .637). He led the league in this category and set a franchise record last season (.705).

Across the Nets’ last three wins (1/27 vs. Houston, 1/29 vs. Utah and 2/3 at Philadelphia), Brooklyn has trailed for just 2:12 of game action (all in the first quarter of the Jazz game). Brooklyn’s two highest-scoring regulation games this season have come within their last three games (also: season-high 147 points vs. Utah). The Nets won Saturday for just the second time this season when surrendering 120+ points (2-19 record).

Brooklyn is 5-3 against Golden State since 2020 – a win would tie the Nets with the Hawks (6-3) and the Celtics (6-3) for the most victories against the Warriors among Eastern Conference teams in that span.
