Although the Brooklyn Nets were able to beat the Golden State Warriors by 30 points just over a month ago, Golden State did not have Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, or Andrew Wiggins available.
All three players will be active on Sunday night, while the Nets will be without Kevin Durant. Look for the Warriors to take advantage of Durant's absence as they win by at least eight points.
