Golden State Warriors (36-13)

VS

Brooklyn Nets (29-19)

Saturday @ 8:30 pm EST, January 29th, 2022

Odds

The Nets come into this game the losers of 3 straight - and it won’t be 4. They get Kyrie back, and despite the Warriors being the hotter team, winners of 4 straight, and having the home-court advantage, this is a game where Harden and Kyrie step up and lead the Nets to a close game, or possibly victory (wouldn’t be surprised). There’s absolutely no reason this game shouldn’t be a 2-3 point line, or even a pick’em considering Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala are missing for the Warriors. The Warriors are just 7-6 without Draymond this season. I expect the Nets to win this game, but take the points to be safe.

Picks

Nets coming off 3 days of rest, getting Kyrie back. Harden usually plays out of his mind during team drama. Evenly matched teams with Draymond and Iguodala out.

Nets +8 (-110)
