San Antonio Spurs vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction and Betting Tips | Dec. 27, 2024 

The San Antonio Spurs continue their four-game road trip with a matchup against the Brooklyn Nets on Friday. San Antonio, which suffered back-to-back closely fought games versus the Philadelphia 76ers and the New York Knicks, hopes to bounce back with a win. Victor Wembanyama, Jeremy Sochan, Chris Paul and Harrison Barnes will lead the Spurs.

Meanwhile, the Nets look to sustain the form that allowed them to beat the Milwaukee Bucks 111-105 on Thursday. Brooklyn will try to pull off an upset without Cam Thomas, Bojan Bogdanovic, Dorian Finney-Smith, Trendon Watford and Ziaire Williams. Cam Johnson, Nic Claxton and Ben Simmons will lead the hosts.

San Antonio Spurs vs Brooklyn Nets preview

Victor Wembanyama has been impressive for the San Antonio Spurs. In the loss to the New York Knicks on Christmas Day, he had 42 points, 18 rebounds, four assists and four blocks. The Spurs' supporting cast, however, has not consistently given the Frenchman a boost.

Harrison Barnes can’t afford another lethargic output. Devin Vassell and Keldon Johnson must give the team a spark when The Alien is not on the floor. Brooklyn is injury-hampered, but the Nets can pull off an upset if Wembanyama’s teammates don’t give him a lift.

The Brooklyn Nets needed a big scoring night from Cam Johnson to beat the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday. Brooklyn could defend its home court if it can get another superb display from the sweet-shooting forward.

Brooklyn must also limit their turnovers. They almost shot themselves in the foot against the Bucks because of 21 errors. To beat the Spurs, the Nets have to take care of the ball well.

San Antonio Spurs vs Brooklyn Nets prediction

The Spurs are playing on short rest, but they are the healthier and in-form team than the Nets. After putting on a show at Madison Square Garden, Victor Wembanyama could have another big night against Brooklyn’s injury-riddled roster.

San Antonio could end their two-game losing skid but allow the hosts to cover the +7.5 spread.
