The Brooklyn Nets venture out west to square off with the Golden State Warriors and will play their seventh straight game without Kevin Durant due to a knee injury, while the Nets are reeling from three straight losses and a 4-6 record in their last 10 games. On the upside for Brooklyn James Harden and Kyrie Irving are without injury designation for Saturday’s matchup as they return to the starting lineup following one and two game absences respectively. Center Nicolas Claxton also enters Saturday without an injury tag following a one game hiatus (and seven-game absence just prior) as he too remains likely to join the starting rotation tonight.
Being 3.5 games out from Phoenix as the Western Conference’s top seed, the Golden State Warriors aim to capitalize at home against the Nets without Durant. The Warriors have eased Klay Thompson back into the fold over the past three weeks, having won four straight and six of their past eight games. Draymond Green remains out with a back injury, though slated for return in the coming week or so. Andre Iguodala remains out for his fifth straight game with a hip injury and anticipated for return in the same time frame as Green.

Warriors First Quarter Moneyline (New York Sportsbook Offers)
The Warriors have trotted out to a 14-12-1 record at home against the first quarter spread while riding a 5-4-1 first quarter ATS record in their last 10 home games, since Thompson’s return 11 games ago. Golden State has averaged 27.8 first quarter points (15th) in their past 11 games with Klay and 28.1 first quarter points (12th) for the season. The Warriors are allowing an average 27.1 first quarter points this season (t-9th) and don a 107.6 defensive rating (10th) in the first quarter.
Yet the Nets represent a 13-9-1 record against the first quarter spread on the road this season and 6-3-1 in the first quarter against the spread of their past 10 road games. Brooklyn has managed 29.2 first quarter points all season (second), though they’ve suffered against the deep ball early allowing 3.6 three-pointers by opponents per first quarter (28th). This naturally is where Golden State has shined, engineering 39.3% of their first quarter points from three-point territory (fourth) and has since ballooned to 40.2% of Warriors’ first quarter points in Thompson’s presence. This should begin closely contested but the Warriors first quarter moneyline remains feasible on Saturday primetime.
Nets First Half Point Spread: +4.5 (New York Sportsbook Offers)
Brooklyn’s managed a 21-25-2 first half record against the spread with a 5-5-0 road record against the first half spread in their last 10 games. The Nets have generated the most first half points in the league with 57.7 points alongside a 57.7% true shooting percentage and 47.6% field goal percentage in first halves. Golden State burdens a 20-29-0 record against the first half spread and 4-6-0 in their last 10 home games first half ATS. The Warriors are averaging 54.9 first half points (18th), a 15.9% first half turnover rate (29th), and allowing 8.9 opponent points off turnovers in first halves (t-28th). While Durant’s absence has naturally been felt on both ends of the court, the Nets are averaging 60.5 first half points in his latest stint (third NBA). Look for Brooklyn to hang in the first half so long as the line doesn’t regress.

Golden State Point Spread: -7.5 (New York Sportsbook Offers)
The Warriors have played the long game tremendously for bettors this season, protecting the home court game spread to the tune of a 17-8-2 record ATS, rewarding a 27.61% return on investment. The second half has been a proving ground for the Warriors as they’ve averaged 55 second half points (fourth), a 56.6% effective field goal percentage (first), and allowed just a 40.4% second half opponent field goal percentage (first) this season. Brooklyn has been the league’s worst against entire game spreads with an 18-28-2 record ATS and -24.27% ROI, while 13-9-1 on the road ATS. The Nets have allowed 9.2 second half opponent points off turnovers (27th) with a 70.1% defensive rebound rate (27th) and a 110.4 second half defensive rating (20th).
The Warriors have netted a 5-4-1 home record ATS in their past 10 home games while the second half for the Nets sans Durant against this Golden State team may wear down the stretch. This line opened at 7.5, since moved up as high as -9, and is now back in the vicinity of -7.5 at most books. As it remains at -7.5, or happens to dip further, the Warriors on the point spread makes for attainable value on Saturday night.
