Brooklyn Nets

Brooklyn has lost two of their last three games. On December 14, the Nets suffered a crushing defeat on the road against Memphis (119-135). The standout performer for the losing side was Dorian Finney-Smith, who scored 19 points, grabbed five rebounds, and made one assist.

Prediction

Cleveland enters this game as the clear favorite. According to analysts at bookmakers, the home team has only a slim chance of success, and that assessment seems accurate. The Ohio team defeated the Nets in their most recent head-to-head matchup on their home court in mid-November. Kenny Atkinson's squad is expected to secure another victory this time around.
