Play: Brooklyn -5.5 -107
Time: 8 p.m. ET
Reasoning: Short-handed San Antonio, which played a double-overtime game at Washington last night, will have its hands full against a rested Nets team. Brooklyn is coming off two rest days and will get a Spurs squad without Tony Parker, who will sit for this one after hurting his back against the Wizards. San Antonio was already without Manu Ginobili (hamstring) and Kawhi Leonard (finger). Brooklyn, which has 43 steals in its last three games, should also have Joe Johnson back tonight. The Nets shoot well from behind the arc and at the line, particularly at home.
Play: Chicago +8.5 -103
Time: 10:30 p.m. ET
Reasoning: The Warriors were embarrassed in their last game, losing 91-75 to Charlotte at home Tuesday night. Now they'll have to face a Bulls team that is allowing just 92.8 points per game, which is second-best in the NBA. Chicago swept Golden State last season and has won seven of the past 10 meetings. The Bulls also have a distinct advantage in free-throw shooting. Additionally, Chicago is 9-4 ATS this season when getting four-plus points.
Record: 17-5-1 (77.3%)
