Warriors vs. Nets Prediction

The Warriors have come badly undone on the defensive end of the court. The injury bug has also struck of late, with team MVP Stephen Curry out of the picture for the next few weeks among other notable absences, including starting shooting guard Donte DiVincenzo. The Warriors have also had rotten luck on the road this season.

The Nets, meanwhile, started off poorly this season but are now firing on all cylinders. Kevin Durant scored a whopping 43 points in their win over the Pistons. Kyrie Irving has been trailing Durant's output of late, ensuring stellar offense from the Brooklyn outfit. Defensively, the Nets have been rather reckless this season, but their well-rounded offense should be enough to best the ailing Warriors tonight.

Prediction: Nets -12 (-110)
