Why the Nets can cover
Brooklyn had its losing streak extended to five games on Tuesday night when it suffered a 127-113 loss at the hands of the San Antonio Spurs. Cam Thomas had 24 points and six assists in the defeat and is now averaging 24.2 points per game this season, but Brooklyn’s defensive struggles couldn’t be overcome.
The Spurs shot 54.7% from the floor and 46.2% from the 3-point line, with Devin Vassell going 14-for-20 from the field and 8-for-11 from beyond the arc on his way to 37 points. However, Thomas did have 23 points in the Nov. 25 win as double-digit underdogs against Golden State, and the Nets will be looking to tap back into that gameplan on Thursday.

Why the Warriors can cover

Since those two superstars were paired together at the NBA trade deadline, Golden State has won nine of its last 11 games and has also covered the spread in seven of eight.
