Golden State and Brooklyn are playing on Tuesday. Ben Pickman is guest picking this week. NBA SO/UP bets and analysis include Warriors-Nets, Spurs-Clippers.

Golden State's winning streak ended at seven games Sunday in Charlotte. The Warriors have the most wins and the best winning percentage in the NBA. Brooklyn is 8-1 and holds the second spot in East behind the Wizards. Brooklyn returned to Brooklyn after a 5- 1 road trip. They are a mediocre offensive team with the No. 6 scoring defense. Golden State hits 15.2 three-pointers per game, which leads the league.

Golden State has one of the best Against The Spread (ATS) records in basketball (8-4-1). Brooklyn is 7-7 ATS. Brooklyn hasn't played on the road much yet this season, but they're 3-0 away from home. Golden State's last game was in Charlotte, and they lost that game.

The Nets and Warriors have great defense and good offensive players. Both teams have scored over 110 points in the last 14 games. Steph Curry is averaging nearly an entire assist more per game this season than the previous one. He's dished 10 times already this year.

Golden State Warriors are on a five-game road trip. They are 11-2 this season. On Tuesday, they play against Brooklyn Nets. Kevin Durant is averaging 29.6 points per game. He averaged 21 points in two games against the Warriors last year.

Golden State Warriors and Nets are playing on Tuesday night. The Nets' defense is better than their offense. Patty Mills is coming off a 29-point game against the Thunder. He has scored 20 or more points three times this season. Spurs and Clippers are also playing Tuesday at 10:30 p.m. ET.

The Clippers are looking for their fifth win in six games against the Spurs. San Antonio is in the bottom of the Western Conference. Los Angeles is well within the playoff picture thanks to Paul George. The Clippers have a middle of pack offensive team and a top-five scoring defense. The Spurs have seven players averaging over 10 points.

Clippers are 6-3 at home and San Antonio is 2-5 on the road. The teams have identical ATS records (7-6). Clippers beat Miami a week ago and then Minnesota by 27.

The Clippers should dictate the pace of the game and keep the Spurs below their scoring average. Dejounte Murray has been shooting more in November and shooting at a better clip. He averages 18.4 PPG on the year and he went over 17.5 in his last game when he scored 22.

Paul George is playing some of the best basketball of his career early on this season. Los Angeles dropped Sunday's game to the Bulls, but had won its seven games before that. They beat the Heat and Trail Blazers. Spurs have defeated just one playoff team from last season in the 2021-22 campaign.

The Clippers are No. 2 in the NBA in opponent field goal percentage (42.4%) and third overall in defensive rating (106.9 PPG). The Spurs are closer to league-average defensively, allowing 106. 9 PPP. Dejounte Murray is averaging 18.3 PGA points per game this season, but he's taking just four three-point attempts per games.
