T.M. Selection: Brooklyn Nets.

I like the Brooklyn Nets to cover the spread against the LA Clippers in this game on Saturday. The Nets just lost their most recent game to the 76ers at home by 8 points and they had a lot of their starters playing in that game so I'm expecting them to bounce back here. The Nets still look pretty healthy for this game but the Clippers aren't and I think the Nets can take advantage of that. The Clippers are going to be missing Paul George in this game, Batum is also questionable to play and Zubac might not play due to covid. Right before the Nets lost to the 76ers in their most recent game, they played the Clippers in the game before that 1 and they won in LA by 16 points. The Clippers were missing George and Batum in that game but they had Zubac and the Nets were missing both Durant and Aldridge. The difference with this game is now the Nets are at home and they have both Durant and Aldridge back for this game but now the Clippers are going to be missing the same 2 players as before plus Zubac might miss the game too. I think with the Clippers travelling here very shorthanded, this game is going to be a lot worse than the game in LA a few nights ago. The Nets have most of their players for this game and I expect them to beat the Clippers by even more than they did in that last meeting. I like the Nets to cover the spread here.

T.M. Prediction: 126-103 Nets.
