Golden State is awful on the road
The Golden State Warriors will enter the game with a record of 15-17 on the season. However, a good starting point with this team is that they are just 3-15 on the road.
Furthermore, this is a team that is expected to be down Steph Curry, Andrew Wiggins, and Klay Thompson according to Wednesday morning news. Those three starters are listed as out on ESPN's depth chart. You really have to be thinking that this game is going to get ugly, noting that Golden State has some really bad road results in games where they are overly injured.
Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets are 19-12 on the season. This team has won six in a row and ten of their last eleven. Furthermore, they have a clean sheet for injuries as per their depth chart with ESPN. They should have no trouble with a hobbled Golden State team tonight.
The 50/50 spread isn't quite enough for this game. Take the Nets to cover an alternative spread in the Main Props section for bet365. Covering -20.5 at odds of +285 (57/20) is the way to go in this game, one where the Warriors will have to sink or swim with Jordan Poole taking tons of shots.
