The Brooklyn Nets and San Antonio Spurs meet Monday in NBA action at the AT&T Center.

The Brooklyn Nets look for a win after winning eight of their last nine games. The Brooklyn Nets are averaging 120.7 points on 49.9 percent shooting and allowing 116.3 points on 46.9 percent shooting. Kevin Durant is averaging 29 points and 5.3 assists while Kyrie Irving is averaging 27.4 points and 4.7 rebounds. James Harden is the third double-digit scorer and Joe Harris is dishing 1.8 assists. The Brooklyn Nets are shooting 40.4 percent from beyond the arc and 80.7 percent from the free throw line. The Brooklyn Nets are allowing 36.3 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 43.8 rebounds per game.

The San Antonio Spurs look for a win after winning six of their last eight games. The San Antonio Spurs are averaging 110.9 points on 45.5 percent shooting and allowing 111.2 points on 46.7 percent shooting. DeMar DeRozan is averaging 20.3 points and 4.8 rebounds while Dejounte Murray is averaging 15.7 points and 7.2 rebounds. Keldon Johnson is the third double-digit scorer and LaMarcus Aldridge is grabbing 4.5 rebounds. The San Antonio Spurs are shooting 35.9 percent from beyond the arc and 79.1 percent from the free throw line. The San Antonio Spurs are allowing 38.4 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 44.9 rebounds per game.

The Nets are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road games and 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games overall. The Spurs are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 Monday games and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The over is 22-7 in Nets last 29 overall. The under is 6-2 in Spurs last 8 overall. The Nets are 1-7 ATS in the last 8 meetings in San Antonio and 10-26-1 ATS in the last 37 meetings.

Both of these teams are banged up, so it’s tough to get a proper feel for either side. However, assuming Kyrie plays for the Brooklyn Nets, they should win and cover this small line. The Nets have been on a roll without Durant and are winning their last five games by an average of 8.8 points. The San Antonio Spurs lose at home by an average of 3.7 points. Assuming the Nets have at least two of their stars, this line shouldn’t be difficult to cover.
