| NBA | (579) Brooklyn Nets at (580) Golden State Warriors | 10:10pm EDT - Mar 25/2026 |
The PLAY: Brooklyn Nets +12.5 (-114)
As bad as the Nets are, they are a bargain getting this many points from the Warriors.
Golden State has not had Steph Curry for the past 22 games going 7-15 SU, 8-14 ATS without him. Curry remains out joining Jimmy Butler on the sidelines. Butler is out for the season and so now is Moses Moody, who suffered a torn patellar tendon during the Warriors' OT win against Dallas on Monday.
The Nets don't win, but they do cover. They are 6-4 ATS in their past 10 games.
It is a ripe spot for Brooklyn to cover again. The Warriors just concluded a six-game, nine-day road trip that finished Monday night. So their focus is likely to be off. Golden State has failed to cover in 10 of its last 11 home games. The Warriors have been the seventh-lowest scoring team in the league since Curry went out.
Golden State has not won back-to-back games in its last 28 games. That streak may end today, but not by double-digits.
(Editor's note: Stephen Nover is 16-7 on his last 23 NBA premium/free plays and has his March NBA Game of the Month today in addition to this free selection. Stephen is 6-0 the past three days on his premium/free plays.)
