In addition to Durant, the Brooklyn Nets probably won’t have Ben Simmons and T.J. Warren in their next meeting. Without all those players, the Nets will be significantly weakened. In that case, the home team’s chances of winning may not be that great. The Knicks handled the Celtics on the road in their last game, so they can do the same again.
The squad problems are bound to have an impact on the Nets’ performance. Most likely, they will not be able to play a productive game.
The Brooklyn Nets are slowly losing ground in their conference. The team without Kevin Durant has lost six of eight games. The leader has a knee injury.
