What to Know

After six games on the road, the Brooklyn Nets are heading back home. They will take on the Golden State Warriors at 7:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday at Barclays Center. Golden State will need to watch out since the Nets have now posted big point totals in their last three contests.

You’re bound to get a positive result if you outscore your opponent every quarter, and that’s exactly how it played out for Brooklyn on Sunday. They put the hurt on the Oklahoma City Thunder with a sharp 120-96 win. It was another big night for Brooklyn’s power forward Kevin Durant, who had 33 points in addition to eight boards.

Meanwhile, it was all tied up 57-57 at halftime, but the Dubs were not quite the Charlotte Hornets’ equal in the second half when they met on Sunday. Golden State fell just short of Charlotte by a score of 106-102. Despite the defeat, the Dubs had strong showings from small forward Andrew Wiggins, who had 28 points along with six rebounds, and point guard Stephen Curry, who dropped a double-double on 24 points and ten dimes along with six rebounds.

Barring any buzzer beaters, the Nets are expected to win a tight contest. Those playing the odds have seen things go back and forth with Brooklyn, who are 7-7 against the spread.

Brooklyn’s victory lifted them to 10-4 while Golden State’s loss dropped them down to 11-2. We’ll see if Brooklyn can repeat their recent success or if Golden State bounces back and reverse their fortune.
