San Antonio is on a roll having won six in a row. They get Manu Ginobili back for this one so this line is high. I think it's too high. The return of Ginobili is a great thing for the Spurs, but I don't expect a huge impact from him here in his first game returning from surgery. Even he doesn't expect a lot from himself: “I don't have great expectations for the first few games. I think at the beginning I'm not going to play 30 minutes (but) come back slowly. I mean I wasn't in great shape even before the surgery, so not going to be now," said Ginobili. Despite the recent good run, the fact remains that the Spurs are just 5-8 on the road this season, getting outscored by 4 points per game. So, laying nearly double-digits is asking a lot. This is a good letdown spot for the Spurs as this team under Gregg Popovich is just 35-53 ATS after beating the spread in four straight games. Take the Nets in this one.
