What to Know
The San Antonio Spurs haven’t won a contest against the Brooklyn Nets since Dec. 19 of 2019, but they’ll be looking to end the drought Monday. San Antonio will head out on the road to face off against Brooklyn at 7:30 p.m. ET at Barclays Center. The Spurs are hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 120.5 points per matchup.
San Antonio was just a bucket shy of a win this past Saturday and fell 126-125 to the Dallas Mavericks. San Antonio’s defeat shouldn’t obscure the performances of center Jakob Poeltl, who dropped a double-double on 19 points and 15 rebounds along with six assists, and small forward Keldon Johnson, who had 30 points.
Meanwhile, Brooklyn wrapped up 2022 with a 123-106 victory over the Charlotte Hornets. It was another big night for the Nets’ point guard Kyrie Irving, who had 28 points in addition to six boards.
The Spurs are the clear underdogs, so they’re hoping it’s the size of the fight that determines this one. They are currently two-for-two against the spread in their most recent games, however, a trend bettors might want to take into account.
Brooklyn’s win lifted them to 24-12 while San Antonio’s loss dropped them down to 12-24. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, Brooklyn and San Antonio will really light up the scoreboard.
