Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #1 – Handicap (-4) for Nets – 2.07.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #2 – Total Points Over 227 – 1.64.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #3 – McCollum Rebounds Under 4.5 – 1.67.
No matter how good the Pelicans look, this team has little chance in New York. Brooklyn will start the new regular season with a victory. Steve Nash’s men have everything they need to do so. We believe that the Nets will be able to get a win on their home court.
We are facing two fast teams. The Pelicans are particularly bright on the away courts. The clash at the Barclays Centre is likely to be entertaining.
McCollum averages 4.3 rebounds in the regular season
