Teams Preview

Brooklyn Nets

With Michael Porter Jr. as their key acquisition from the Nuggets, the Brooklyn side is looking to form a competitive roster around him. He is leading the team on the offensive end while center Nic Claxton has been a key contributor around the rim with his rebounding and blocking prowess.

In the last five home games, the Nets won just one game, against the Bulls and lost four with an average of 113.8 points per game. Michael Porter Jr. led the team in scoring in most of those games with the team forcing double overtime against the Celtics.

Washington Wizards

At the start of the season, Washington tried to form a guard-forward pairing with the experienced duo of CJ McCollum and Khris Middleton. But now, on the trade deadline day, the team moved away from their original roster and acquired Trae Young and Anthony Davis in mega deals. Though they won't be part of the playing five immediately, the team eyes a stronger roster for the upcoming season. 

In the Wizards' last five away games, they won one and averaged 115.2 points. Surprisingly, their win came against the conference leaders, Detroit Pistons, highlighting their capability to challenge top teams. Kyshawn George took over the offensive responsibility.
