Nets vs Spurs Prediction
The Spurs have the ability to blow the doors off, but they’re also on the end of a back-to-back and coming off a tight win over the Raptors. The Spurs are also 10-20 ATS in their last 30 games as a double-digit favorite. However, the Nets are in tank mode and are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games as a double-digit underdog. Lately when the Nets are supposed to lose ugly, they do. There’s a large talent gap between these teams. Massive line for a road team with the rest disadvantage. I’m still going to side with the Spurs as a fade of the Nets.
