Why Bet on the Golden State Warriors?
The Warriors have been unstoppable since the start of the 2021-22 NBA season. Despite the absence of their superstar shooter Klay Thompson, we’ve seen the team deliver quality performances against playoff contenders and NBA Finals favorites. Once the other half of the Splash Brothers return to the floor, we expect to see the team firing on all cylinders.
The side records incredible offensive statistics. They average 115.1 points (first) per game on 46.9% shooting (fifth). The Warriors also have the top effective field goal percentage in the league at 55.4%. Additionally, we cannot overlook the fact that the Warriors are shooting lights out from downtown. They average 15.2 three-pointers (first).
Steve Kerr makes sure his team is on point defensively. As a team, they hold opponents to 101.8 points (third) per game. Defensive rebounding is also one of the Warriors’ strongest suits. The Dubs average 37.9 defensive rebounds (second) and 56.1 total rebounds (third) per game. The team also averages 10.7 steals (first) in 13 games.
Stephen Curry is the heart and soul of scoring. The guard leads the team’s scoring with 28.1 points per game. Draymond Green provides him with much-needed support as the forward records a team-high 8.1 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game.
Why Bet on the Brooklyn Nets?
The Nets have a shot at taking the top spot in the Eastern Conference on Tuesday. They managed to maintain focus and produce convincing results despite all the controversy and the issues at the start of the season.
The hosts return from a six-game road streak. They won five of the six games and scored over 116 points in four games. More than that, the Nets held opponents to under 100 points in four of the six games.
After the lengthy stint on the road, the Nets improved their points per game average to 108.5 (15th) on 47.1% shooting (fourth). They have one of the best effective field goal percentages in the league at 55.3% (second). Moreover, the team holds the best three-point percentage record in the league right now with 39.3%.
Kevin Durant holds the team-high record in points with 29.6 per game. Meanwhile, James Harden dishes out 9.3 assists per game and helps out with the Nets’ strong 25.1 assists per game average.
The Nets also show strength in defensive rebounding. They average 37.6 defensive boards (third) and 51.6 total rebounds (26th) per game. KD remains the team’s top rebounder with an average of 8.4 rebounds per game.
Joe Harris will be out of the starting lineup after sustaining an ankle injury. Patty Mills is expected to start the game while the guard recovers.
