Predictions

The Golden State Warriors are lacking a genuine center for their upcoming game. They face an attacking juggernaut in the Nets who had torn them apart in the season opener.

Given the dearth of quality defenders on both sides, it will be a very high-scoring game where the Nets will prevail as the winners.
