Since returning from the All-Star break, the defending national champion Warriors have won five straight, although their defense has been shaky. Reigning NBA Finals MVP Durant is averaging 28.6 points while shooting better than 60 percent over the last eight games.

Meanwhile, Brooklyn has won just one since the beginning of February. The Nets are tied for the worst record in the Eastern Conference and are one game ahead of Memphis (18-44), which has the worst winning percentage in the league. Nevertheless, seven Nets players are averaging double digits in scoring, including Allen Crabbe. 

Monday’s game at Oracle Arena will air on YES and NSBA.
