The Brooklyn Nets are playing their best basketball of the season, winning five out of seven games, and extending a win streak with road victories at San Antonio and Minnesota. Brooklyn returns home to try to win its fourth consecutive contest when the Golden State Warriors visit at 7:30 p.m. EST this Monday.
The Nets outlasted the Timberwolves 123-107 with a strong, balanced second half on Saturday. But the game's real takeaway was that Brooklyn looks deeper in talent than at any time in recent memory, even as the Nets have labored to get to double-digit wins after starting out 7-19. Shooting guard Cam Thomas returned to the lineup to score 30 points off the bench as the Nets shot a season-best 54.8%.
The Warriors arrive in New York amidst an uptick of their own. Golden State hasn't lost in regulation since visiting Phoenix on Dec. 18, winning three straight times before falling to Toronto 141-127 in overtime on Sunday. However, the Warriors are dealing with an injury list which is starting to dwarf that of the Nets.

Brooklyn Nets vs Golden State Warriors Predictions and Picks
Brian Lewis of the New York Post calls Brooklyn's victory over Minnesota the Nets' "most impressive win of the season," praising the 50% downtown shooting of Michael Porter Jr. that complemented Thomas' big effort. But the real surprise is Brooklyn's outstanding defense in the month of December, the "top-ranked" statistical defense in the National Basketball Association through 28 days according to Lewis' litmus.
Do the 16-16 Golden State Warriors possess the firepower to overcome Brooklyn's inspired guarding? Stephen Curry remains one of the most reliable scorers in the NBA, but the Warriors are getting whacked by injuries just as the team's overall form improves. More than one Golden State cager is dealing with sciatic nerve issues. Warriors center Al Horford played in Toronto, but is a likely sit-out against Brooklyn.
It's a contest of two clubs who would badly like to win and keep climbing in the standings. Only one team, however, is healthy. Pick the Nets to cover or to win straight-up against the visiting Warriors on Monday.
