T.M. Selection: Spurs/Nets OVER.

I am on the over in the San Antonio Spurs vs Brooklyn Nets game on Sunday. I think this is going to be a high scoring game since neither of these teams play defense well. The Spurs have played in 7 of their previous 8 games where both teams scored 100+ points in the game. The Spurs have put up 99+ points in 20 games in a row, 19 of those games they scored 100+ points, and they have still been losing a lot of those games which means that they have been giving up even more points than they are scoring. This has been a common theme for them all year and part of the reason why they have looked so bad, no one plays defense well on the team and instead they rely on their shooting to win games and try to make comebacks when they are down. I don't think anything is going to change for them here when they are playing a team that has guys like Kevin Durant and James Harden who are both really tough to defend. I think this is going to be another game where the Spurs can't defend the Nets and they are going to try to keep up by shooting a lot and putting up enough points to match the Nets. The Nets have also been involved in a lot of high scoring games lately too. The Nets have seen 1 team score 118+ points in 4 games in a row. The Nets have not been defending well in their games either and they have had both teams score 100+ points in 7 games in a row. The Nets have also given up 100+ points themselves in 13 games in a row. I think this will be a game where neither team plays a lot of defense and I'm expecting a lot of shooting in this game. I think the Nets will take the lead early because the Spurs won't be able to defend them well and that will leave the Spurs chasing the whole game by putting up more and more points to match. I like the over in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 129-117 Nets.
