Also, the Warriors have 43.6 boards per game combined with 25.2 per contest. And on the defensive side of the game, Golden State is 22nd in the league with 114.4 conceded points a night.

Now, the Nets are fourth in the Atlantic Division, 13.5 games behind the Raptors for the top spot. As for the Eastern Conference standings, the Nets are seventh and held a 3.5-game edge over ninth-place Chicago. So, the team is still in the playoff race.

Prediction
The Warriors are having a bad season this year. And it seems that they do not have the quality to challenge for the postseason spots. On the other side, the Nets are on a quest to get to the playoff spots. They have the winning momentum and I expect another win for the New Yorkers.
