The Nets' depth is being tested early in the season. First, they lost Spencer Dinwiddie (knee) for the season. Now they will have to play the next seven days without Kevin Durant, who was exposed to someone who tested positive for COVID-19. They have already been struggling, losing four of their last five games. Meanwhile, the Jazz are mostly healthy and look like a dangerous team with Mike Conley Jr. finally healthy. With Durant out, the Jazz have a big edge here.

The Nets haven't met expectations thus far, going 1-4 in their last five after a 2-0 start. In the current five-game swoon, Brooklyn is allowing 120 points per game. Now they'll be missing Kevin Durant and his 28.2 points per game. Kyrie Irving might take 25 shots in this one. Over the last three games, Irving is 26 of 68 from the field, including 7 of 29 from deep. The Jazz are coming off two straight impressive wins. They've won the past four meetings with Brooklyn, and seven of eight. Lay the points.

My model says the Jazz cover in well over 60 percent of simulations, so you're getting strong value at this number. Utah has posted back-to-back wins after beginning its seven-game road trip with a 21-point triumph at San Antonio on Sunday. Meanwhile, the Nets have lost their last two contests to fall to 1-3 on their six-game homestand and will be without Kevin Durant, who is expected to miss four games while in quarantine after being exposed to someone with COVID-19.

The Nets don't look in sync yet and are on a five-game ATS losing streak. In addition, Kevin Durant was just ruled out for Tuesday's game due to the league's health and safety protocols. This line clearly is going to change (see news feed story) so grab it while you can.
