The road Nets are coming off a massive 128-86 win over the Washington Wizards. The game was a road win, and it was even bigger than the score indicates. It was something of a fresh start with Kyrie Irving’s suspension underway and a statement staying they’re not going away despite the complete turmoil they’ve endured up to this point.
So far this season, the Nest are 3-6 straight up and 2-7 against the spread.
The home Hornets are coming off a (also massive) 130-99 loss—the team’s third loss in a row.
On the year, the Hornets are 3-6 straight up and 4-5 against the spread.
Brooklyn Nets
You can’t say the Nets have exactly turned it around after one game, but they’ve won two out of three and at least look competitive while the national focus is on their controversies.
On the year, the Nets are scoring 112 points per game, led by Kevin Durant’s 32.5 PPG average—an average good enough to put KD in the No. 3 spot behind only Giannis Antetokounmpo (No. 2) and Luka Doncic (No. 1).
That 112 PPG team average puts the Nets in 21st among all 30 teams so far this season.
Looking at the advanced stats, the Nets are scoring 110.7 points per 100 possessions. That number puts them in the No. 12 spot as of this writing on Friday.
Defensively, the Nets are giving up 118.8 points per contest. That number is 25th in the NBA at this point in the season.
Looking at Defensive Efficiency, Brooklyn gives up 114.4 points per 100 possessions—a number only good enough for the No. 26 ranking at this juncture.
Charlotte Hornets
Charlotte comes into this one scoring 113.4 points per game. That number is good enough for 17th across the Association.
Looking at the advanced stats, Charlotte is scoring 106.3 points per 100 possessions. That number drops the team all the way down to 26th league-wide in Offensive Efficiency.
Defensively, this group is holding opponents to just 114.5 points per contest. That number puts the Hornets in 19th place just about 10 percent of the way through the NBA’s regular-season schedule.
In terms of Defensive Efficiency, Charlotte gives up 107.6 points per 100 possessions. That number puts the squad in the 13th ranking so far this year, a vast improvement over the raw numbers.

Free Brooklyn Nets vs. Charlotte Hornets NBA Prediction:
The Nets have a lot to prove going forward. I wouldn’t expect anything close to the blowout they imposed upon the Wizards on Friday, but this group seems capable of still winning games without Kyrie Irving—maybe even more motivated than ever to do so.
I’m picking the Nets, and while I don’t think it’ll be a total blowout, I’m picking them in convincing fashion during a time they need to convince folks of their legitimacy.
Nets win big.
