Nets without KD but with ‘Uncle Drew’!

The Golden State Warriors get a visit from the East Coast with the Brooklyn Nets on Jan. 30, 2022, and the hosts will be relying mostly on the home bonus: With a win rate of around 85 percent, they have the best record on their own turf in the league-wide comparison!

The Warriors recorded a win against Minnesota in the last game and especially the performance of Stephen Curry should have pleased the fans. After an unusual period of weakness for him with comparatively low field goal percentages, especially in his favourite discipline from downtown, the “chef” now acted in his usual strength again.

In addition, Klay Thompson was convincing in the match, which is why the spectators in the Chase Center saw a successful performance of the “Splash Brothers” for the first time in a very long time: Together, Curry and Thompson delivered eleven three-pointers.

Head coach Steve Kerr’s team, on the other hand, is still without the injured Draymond Green, whose defensive strength is thus missing on the side of the hosts.

Brooklyn Nets – Statistics & current form

Brooklyn can once again call on Kyrie Irving in the duel with the Warriors, who has been sorely missed in recent home games in which the guard is ineligible to play. So the New Yorkers first had to admit defeat to the Lakers and then another defeat against Denver followed.

“Uncle Drew” is all the more important these days, as Kevin Durant continues to miss out due to injury. However, the basketball players from the “Big Apple” can counter the aforementioned home strength of the Warriors: Only the league leader in the West in the form of the Suns wins more often away from home than the Nets in the NBA!

Golden State Warriors – Brooklyn Nets Tip

For the game at the Chase Center between the Warriors and Nets on 30/01/2022, the prediction includes more than 24.5 points by Kyrie Irving on the part of the visitors. With Kevin Durant out of action, he and James Harden will be particularly challenged on the offensive end. However, “The Beard” also missed a game recently due to an injury.

Although Harden is now returning to the squad, it remains to be seen whether he is really back at 100 per cent of his capacity or whether his quick comeback is not rather due to the, as described, tense personnel situation at Brooklyn. In favour of the prediction is the fact that Irving has been getting in better and better shape recently.

After his month-long break from the game, the guard apparently needed some time and more game practice to reach his usual offensive efficiency. Recently, however, he has already come up trumps again: He exceeded the selected limit of points in three of the past four appearances.
