The Brooklyn Nets have been in terrible form, as they’ve lost 18 of their last 20 games overall and they will be hoping to arrest an eight-game slide after getting beaten by the Trail Blazers in a 134-99 road defeat on Monday. Tyson Etienne led the team with 18 points off the bench, Ziaire Williams added 16 points, and Josh Minott chipped in with 15 points. As a team, the Nets shot 41 percent from the field and eight of 29 from the 3-point line as they struggled for offense from the very start and got outscored in every quarter to suffer one of their worst defeats of the season. Ben Saraf had a quiet game of just 10 points on two of eight shooting off the bench, while Nolan Troare finished scoreless on zero of nine shooting.

Meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors have been in a major slump as they’ve lost 10 of their last 13 games overall, but they will be feeling a little better after they arrested a three-game skid with a 137-131 overtime road win over the Mavericks on Monday. Moses Moody led the team with 23 points, Kristaps Porzingis added 22 points with seven rebounds and five assists, while Brandin Podziemski tallied 20 points with 10 rebounds and six assists. As a team, the Warriors shot 50 percent from the field and 17 of 47 from the 3-point line as they weathered an early barrage from the Mavericks and clawed their way back from an early 15-point deficit to force overtime, where they held the Mavericks to just five points to snatch the win at the end.

Warriors vs Nets Prediction
The Nets have ruled out Michael Porter Jr., Nolan Traore, Egor Demin and Noah Clowney again, while the Warriors are still missing Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler III, Al Horford, Moses Moody and Seth Curry. Both teams are ice-cold heading into this meeting but there is still a bit more to like about the Warriors, who looked good in their win on Monday. The Warriors haven’t been at their best but they should have no trouble running past this severely shorthanded Nets squad, who can’t wait for the offseason.
