Golden State Warriors - Brooklyn Nets The Warriors are in a transitional phase, a good test tonight to see where their progress is after the return of Klay Thompson and with the simultaneous absence of Draymond Green the game against the Nets of the permanently injured Kevin Durant.
Curry's team counts four consecutive victories, with the emblematic shooter returning after a series of miserable appearances at good levels (29 points) prevailed with 124-115 of Minnesota. Very good match from Thompson who is slowly finding his rhythm, while the newly announced all-star starter Wiggins also helped a lot. The truth is that Golden State has been quite affected by the absence of Green who not only helps in the defensive part but is also the orchestrator of the attack, but with opponents of the range of the Timberwolves this is not such a big problem. Iguodala will be missing again along with Draymond.
The Nets tried against the Nuggets but that was not enough to avoid a 124-118 defeat. Once again their defense was inferior to the circumstances and in terms of numbers in the last month they are in free fall. Harden was absent from this game, Mills and Aldridge finally made a good appearance at the same time. Today, the "bearded man" will return, as of course Irving, since the match is away from home and he can play normally.
Whether they play good basketball or bad basketball, whether Curry throws bricks or slaps them, the Warriors manage to win and stay in the top tier of the standings. The Nets, on the other hand, consistently play mediocre basketball and especially after Durant's injury they find it difficult to win. I do not think they can compete with the Warriors in San Francisco with the hosts stepping on a more solid footing, so I choose an ace in combination with under 242,5 game points at 1,62 of Stoiximan.
