Brooklyn Nets at San Antonio Spurs, 8:30 p.m. ET
Odds: Nets -5 || O/U 233.5
Pick: The Spurs are 6-4 in their last 10 and have DeMar DeRozan back in the lineup. Brooklyn is still without Kevin Durant, but Kyrie Irving is slated to return after sitting out the Nets’ last game. The Nets haven’t won in San Antonio since Jan. 22, 2002, a span of 17 consecutive games.
We like a streak-buster. Lay the points, and don’t overthink the over.

Shoutout: On Friday, we asked subscribers to predict the winner, score, and leading scorer of Pacers-Celtics. The Celtics won 118-112 behind Kemba Walker’s game-high 32. We hope you took Sports Section’s advice and laid the points with the Celtics. We admit we swung and missed on the under 218.5.
Subscriber John Hardy (@johncyclejohn) came closest to the winning score (no one had Walker), predicting a 110-100 Boston win. Nice work, John!
Keep the picks coming!
