Betting Trends
Brooklyn G/F Caris Levert (foot) has begun doing some on-court work and is progressing well in his rehab effort. These two teams rank in the bottom half of the league in defensive efficiency, so the over is worth a shot. The stronger play is on Brooklyn to cover at home. Final Score Prediction, Brooklyn Nets win and cover ATS 115-107.
