Game Preview
On Sunday afternoon, a blockbuster trade involving the Brooklyn Nets and Dallas Mavericks that sent the talented and divisive Kyrie Irving to Dallas in exchange for Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith, one first-round pick, and two future second-round picks sent the NBA media and fans into a frenzy.
With the trade deadline approaching on February 9, the Nets acted quickly after receiving Irving’s Friday request for a move. In the opening contest of a home back-to-back, the Brooklyn Nets welcome the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night. The Nets will once again be short handed because their newcomers won’t yet be wearing uniforms.
The Clippers are playing in their sixth and final road game. In their last nine games, they have gone 7-2 both straight up and against the spread, demonstrating their great recent record. It should come as no surprise that the Clippers are holding a regular season record of 74-28 and 66-36 ATS when Paul George and Kawhi Leonard are on the court together.
Let’s check the latest picks, NBA news, stats and NBA expert picks for Clippers vs Nets. We’ve plenty of NBA predictions for you to consider.
The Nets will continue to be without Kevin Durant, who is anticipated to be reevaluated for a court return soon. Ben Simmons is doubtful, and Seth Curry is out with a groin issue. The Nets trailed the Wizards by as much as 23 points before coming back to win. Edmond Sumner and Thomas were determining factors for the comeback victory.
Thomas currently has 44, 21 and 19 points in his last three games as a substitute. The Nets will depend more on Thomas on Monday because of their severe personnel shortage. Big guy Nic Claxton has also made a significant contribution. He has nine double-doubles in the last 11 games and has shown significant progress this season.
In the end, after the trade of Irving, the Nets may experience a temporary increase in their level of motivation. On the other hand, the Clippers are in a difficult situation on a lengthy road trip coming off of a victory that required extra time. However, if George and Leonard are both participating, there is a significant gap in the level of skill between the two teams.
