Command Analysis

Brooklyn Nets

Current form
The Nets are gradually trying to return to the playoff zone. The team shows inconsistent results, but tries to use the mistakes of its closest rivals. In the last match, Brooklyn achieved a sensational victory over Milwaukee (111:105).
Cameron Johnson led the way with 29 points. However, victories are hard to come by, which speaks to the need for improvements in both defense and attack. In the upcoming home game against San Antonio, the Nets will have a chance to close the gap on Chicago in the standings, if, of course, the hosts win.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bojan Boglanovic and De'Anthony Melton will not play in the next game due to injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
The Nets have won 3 of their last 5 head-to-head games.
Projected lineup: Clowney - Johnson, Claxton - Simmons, Johnson.

San Antonio Spurs

Current form
The Spurs are showing a similar game to their opponents. The team has dropped out of the top ten in the Western Conference and will try to return to the playoff zone. Gregg Popovich men have suffered two defeats in a row, first to Philadelphia (106:111) and then to New York (114:117).
Victor Wembanyama performance has been impressive, but his efforts alone will not be enough to take the team to the next level. The next game in New York will be a good opportunity for Spurs to end their losing streak.

Both teams are inconsistent. Brooklyn is trying to find its game and shows flashes of good form, but overall it is not very confident. Home court will give the Nets a slight advantage.
San Antonio is also going through tough times, but two losses in a row should motivate Gregg Popovich team to play more aggressively. In our opinion, both teams are at about the same level, and the match will be tense.
Our prediction is a Brooklyn win with a handicap of (+8.5) points at 1.78
