Bookmakers' analysts found it difficult to name a clear favorite of the upcoming match. In their opinion, Toronto will have a slight advantage. That true. Both teams are about the same level. In addition, the strongest players will not appear on the court for medical reasons. In this situation, it is worth betting on the home team. The home factor has not yet been cancelled.
Our prediction is a Brooklyn win with overtime at 2.03
Bet on individual total
Brooklyn will not put its main lineup on the court. But even with all the leaders in the lineup, the Nets show low efficiency. The average point average for the regular season of the 2023/24 season is 110.4 (25th place in the league). And this time, the basketball players from the Big Apple will not be able to load the opponent basket decently.
Our prediction is Brooklyn individual total under 107.5 points including overtime at 1.81
Bet on the first half
The Brooklyn Nets are not in a very good mood after their loss to Philadelphia. The Nets will no doubt try to achieve success in order to rehabilitate themselves before their fans. The players of Jordi Fernandez team will show who is the boss on the Barclays Center court from the first minutes of the match and will seize the initiative.
Our prediction is a Brooklyn win in the first half of the game at 2.16
