After road games against Milwaukee (104-127) and Philadelphia (114-109), Brooklyn will play six games at home in New York. Well, this is a great opportunity for Steve Nash’s team to collect the harvest of victories. The match against the Washington Wizards will take place at 00:30 UK time.
Possible line-ups for the match:
Brooklyn Nets:
G – James Harden | G – Joe Harris | F – Kevin Durant | F – Blake Griffin | C – Nicolas Claxton.
Washington Wizards:
G – Spencer Dinwiddie | G – Bradley Beal | F – Kentavious Caldwell-Pope | F – Kyle Kuzma | C – Daniel Gafford.
Brooklyn Nets:
The Nets are not able to get back on track, which is immediately reflected in the standings. The team cannot count on all of its leaders, as Kyrie Irving refuses to get vaccinated, so James Harden and Kevin Durant are leaders in New York.
Brooklyn lost to Milwaukee in the first game of the season (104-127), but after a dose of criticism, they got together and beat Philadelphia (114-109) on the road. It seemed like Steve Nash’s guys would continue to build momentum, but they faced Charlotte and conceded 95-111. Of course, the Nets are expected to do better, as the team is overflowing with NBA stars.
Washington Wizards:
Washington Wizards have pleasantly surprised us with its attitude to the game and the desire to get points in every game. The Wizards moved into third place in the Eastern Conference.
In the first game, Washington defeated Toronto (98-83), which was already an unexpected result. The next game was played at home where the Wizards got a 135-134 win over Indiana in overtime. The main hero of the game was Spencer Dunwiddie and his 34 points.
Brooklyn Nets vs Washington Wizards statistics:
In the last seven head-to-head games, the home team has consistently scored at least 113 points.
Last season, the Wizards were among the top-5 teams with 90.9 shots per game on average. In their three head-to-head meetings with each other, they shot 97. The game is expected to be fast and high-scoring.
Brooklyn Nets vs Washington Wizards Tips:
It’s too early to tell if the Nets have adjusted to playing Harden as their primary point guard. In the two games of the new season, he has shown good numbers (20 points, 7.5 assists, 8 rebounds). The Brooklyn Nets had 14.2 three-point shots last season on average and 14.5 this season. In three faceoffs, it was 14.
You can bet on the event that Nets players will score more than 14.5 three-pointers.
The Washington Wizards started the new season with two wins. The former Nets player Spencer Dinwiddie leaves a very pleasant impression. Cusma is emerging as a full-fledged star, something he may have lacked with the Lakers. Beal has some issues with his hip, so his participation in the game is questionable. If all of the Wizards’ leaders are healthy, they will likely beat last year’s average for shots from the game.
Our second prediction is individual total points of Wizards less than 100.5.
