Tonight’s Action

Nets at Jazz

Watch: 10 p.m. ET, ESPN

Odds: Jazz -10 || O/U 230.5

Pick: The Nets just keep winning, no matter who’s in the lineup. Brooklyn has won 16 of 18 despite not often having its ideal lineup. Kevin Durant remains sidelined with a hamstring injury, and Kyrie Irving is away from the team for personal reasons. 

James Harden and crew face a tough task in the Jazz, who have reeled off 16 consecutive home victories and finished off a five-game road trip with wins in Toronto and Chicago.

It’s a lot of points, but Sports Section will lay the 10 with Brooklyn playing the second of a back-to-back. We also like the over.

Shoutout: Yesterday, we asked subscribers to predict the winner of Wizards-Knicks, the score, and the leading scorer.

The Knicks clobbered the Wizards 131-113 behind Julius Randle’s game-high 37.

While Sports Section took a pounding with the Wizards +2.5 and the under, subscriber Tim Maher (@glenayrfarm) correctly had both the Knicks winning and Randle as the high scorer. Excellent picks, Tim!

Keep the picks coming, everyone!
