Brooklyn will also be without Cameron Johnson, who scores 18.9 points per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Nets are 3-14 without Johnson in the lineup this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NBA SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong>Barnes over 30.5 points\/rebounds\/assists<\/strong> <\/strong>(-127):<\/strong> Barnes had one of his best games of the season against the Nets on Jan. 1:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>33 points<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>13 rebounds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>5 assists<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>14-of-18 shooting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>He smashed this line, covering the number with points alone. That level of production isn&#8217;t needed on Wednesday, but anything close would do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barnes has been good against this wager recently, too. He has cleared this mark in three straight games, averaging 36.7 PRA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Raptors&#8217; young star is worried more about winning than tanking and this is a great matchup to fill the statsheet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brooklyn has the 11th-worst defensive rating (116.9) and grabs the second-fewest rebounds per game (41.2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Williams 2+ threes<\/strong> (<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>-245):<\/strong> Williams missed a game on March 22 but returned against the Dallas Mavericks a couple of days later and hit two threes in reduced playing time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Johnson out, I predict Williams will return to his normal workload. Including his 21 minutes on Monday, he&#8217;s averaging 30.4 minutes over his past eight appearances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During that run, Williams has been lighting it up from 3-point range:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>3.1 makes on 7.4 attempts per game (42.4%)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2+ threes in 6 of 8 games<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Someone needs to step up and replace Johnson&#8217;s 7.2 three-point attempts and Williams seems the most likely candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Raptors vs. Nets predictions made at 9:40 a.m. ET 03\/26\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Toronto Raptors close out a two-game road trip on Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets.
