Golden State @ Brooklyn
I can't say I have a great feeling about the spread either way. GS has been solid on the road, but they've also suffered double digit losses in 3 of their 4 road losses. I haven't seen enough yet to trust this team fully going East, either. Another factor is Brooklyn having an L in Oakland earlier this season. It was a game that Brooklyn was up huge early and then fell asleep at the wheel... Warriors wound up winning by 9. My lean is towards Brooklyn laying the points, but that's not my play for tonight.
I'm going to recommend playing the under u195. Brooklyn is still down their top scorer in Lopez. Both teams are middle of the road in defensive efficiency, and Brooklyn tends to slow down games more often than they tend to speed them up. For GS they have a few guys who run hot and cold, and if they are running cold more often than not it is on the road. If Steph or Klay's jumpers aren't falling GS easily winds up with a score in the mid 80s in this game. At the same time while they may struggle offensively they do play hard and can try to compensate on the defensive end which can lead to a spirited effort defensively (and they are 8th in FG% allowed).
Even delving into match ups I think the defenses have the advantages. I think Williams and Johnson are both well equipped to defend Steph and Klay respectively. Wallace will lock down Barnes. The Warriors one calling card in this game may be rebounding if Reggie Evans cannot play. David Lee can potentially neutralize Humphries and lead to a big night on the boards for the Landry, Barnes, and Ezelis of the world. And of course rebounding is as key to successful defensive possessions as anything.
