San Antonio at Brooklyn

San Antonio is rolling along with an eight-game win streak. Should we expect less of the deep defending champs? What is so impressive is their defense, #3 in the NBA, allowing 93.1 points per game, so this group is not all about running, gunning and bombing away from long range. Tony Parker (hip) and Tim Duncan (rest) sat out Monday's game, but both players are expected to be available against the Nets. The Spurs are 59-28-1 ATS vs. the Eastern Conference and 6-2 ATS in their last eight road games. Brooklyn had to play last night and is a weak team all around at #18 in scoring and #17 in points allowed. The Nets are 3-12-1 ATS following a win. The Spurs have won 21 of the last 23 meetings with the Nets and are 12-2 ATS in the last 14 meetings in Brooklyn. Lay the points on San Antonio.
