Recently, Brooklyn has performed much better away than at home. There is nothing surprising. After all, Kyrie Irving performs in away matches for the Nets. The actions of this performer helped the “Networks” to overcome “Philadelphia” (129:100) and “Orlando” (150:108). But in New York he is forbidden to play. In this meeting, we will not see him on the floor. Brooklyn won the last home matches, but the rivals were not of the highest level. Defeating Portland (128:123) and New York (110:103) was not so difficult.
C.J. McCollum returned to New Orleans. This significantly improved the game of the Pelicans. For example, in the last match McColum scored 25 points and also completed four rebounds and eight assists. His actions helped to defeat Atlanta (117:112). Jonas Valanciunas also played well. Lithuanian scored 26 points. In addition to defeating Atlanta, the Pelicans also defeated San Antonio. In the confrontation with the Spurs, the team from Louisiana showed an excellent game.
