Brooklyn at Golden State

This game at the beginning of the season may have looked like an NBA Championship preview. It still maybe but with Kevin Durant out for Brooklyn, and James Harden battling a hamstring injury, the Nets are not what they were when healthy. Golden St. solicits an offensive frame of mind for bettors, but this is not the team of several years ago. They can still score but they play a lot differently. They have held 8 of their last 18 teams to fewer than 100 points, and in the modern NBA that is significant. Additionally, the Warriors have held each of their last 6 opponents to 43% shooting or less, and half of those did not get over 38%. Brooklyn offense is inhibited without Durant. I will go with the UNDER in this one.
