Brooklyn at San Antonio

Brooklyn will try to get off to a better start after cutting a 25-point lead to one before losing 131-124 to Cleveland on Friday night and covering an 11.5-point spread. The Nets are getting similar points against the Spurs, who had to go overtime to beat New Orleans 120-116 behind Victor Wembanyama's team-leading 29 points. Brooklyn is 8-2 ATS its past 10 October games. The Nets shot 51 percent and hit 19 of 45 from 3-point range against the Cavaliers with two 30-plus scorers in Michael Porter Jr. (31 points) and Cam Thomas (33 points). That kind of shooting can keep this game within the big number if Brooklyn can avoid a big deficit again. Take the points with the Nets.
