What to know
The Warriors will play the full four quarters on Monday, but are expected to have everything figured out well before then. They will challenge the Brooklyn Nets at 10:00 pm ET at the Chase Center. The Warriors will look to keep their five-game winning streak at home alive.
The Warriors head into this one after bookmakers set last week’s low over/under at 229.5, but even that ended up being too high. They fell 104-94 to the Spurs on Saturday. Golden State was up 77-60 in the third but couldn’t maintain the lead.
Even though they lost, the Warriors worked as a unit and finished the game with 29 assists (ranked second in assists per game overall). That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they have now racked up at least 27 assists in eight consecutive games.
Meanwhile, the Nets should have known the odds they faced on Sunday, but they decided that wasn’t going to be the story of the game. They earned a 108-103 victory over the Kings.
The Nets can attribute much of their success to Cameron Thomas, who had 34 points and six assists. Thomas had some trouble finding his footing against the 76ers on Friday, so this was a step in the right direction.
Golden State’s loss dropped its record to 12-4. As for Brooklyn, their win ended a three-game road drought and puts them at 7-10.
Monday’s matchup is shaping up to be a tough game: The Warriors have swept the boards this season, having averaged 49.2 rebounds per game (they rank second in rebounds per game overall). However, it’s a different story for the Nets, as they have averaged just 38.4. Given the Warriors’ considerable advantage in that area, the Nets will need to find a way to close that gap.
The Warriors beat the Nets 109-98 in their previous matchup in February. Do the Warriors have another win up their sleeve or will the Nets turn it around? We will have the answer very soon.
