Nets vs Warriors Prediction
The Warriors should be favored for obvious reasons, but they’re an old team that played an overtime game last night. The Warriors are also now 6-12 SU on the road. It’s an issue. The Nets are rested and have quietly won 7 of their last 10 games. This is the best stretch of ball the Nets have played in quite some time. The Nets have covered 8 of their last 10 games. Sure, the Nets will probably come back to earth sooner than later, but it’s hard to get behind the Warriors on the road after a lengthy game last night. Give me the buckets with the hot Nets at home.
