1.5 units on Brooklyn +11 (-107) (risk 1.5 to return 2.9)
Result:
LOSS

After a pair of train-wreck seasons, rebuilding Brooklyn is finally improving. The offense is top 10 in the NBA in scoring and the team is getting outscored by just -2.6 points per contest. They have covered two straight, including a 119-84 rout of Washington as a +6 dog. Brooklyn forward DeMarre Carroll had 20 points and 13 rebounds against the Pacers the last game for his third double-double of the season. They lost by four points as a +9.5 dog. The Nets are 11-4 ATS on the road against a team with a winning home record, plus 8-3 ATS after a defeat. San Antonio is still an NBA powerhouse but on a 3-5 spread run dealing with injury issues. Star forward Kawhi Leonard is being brought along slowly after a preseason quadriceps injury and is averaging just 17.3 minutes. San Antonio starting guard Danny Green (groin) has missed four of the past five games. This number is too high and the underdog Nets are 4-1 ATS as a double-digit dog this season, plus 11-5 ATS when their opponent scores 100+ points in their previous game. Take the points on Brooklyn.
