Friday night NBA sees two Eastern Conference foes facing off in a battle between one franchise hoping to make the playoffs, and one franchise looking to avoid being labeled the worst team in the league.
*All statistics, rankings, standings and trends are current as of this writing at 5:30 p.m. ET on Thursday, Dec. 29, 2016.
Brooklyn Nets
On the year, the Brooklyn Nets are averaging 106.4 points per contest. That number is good enough for 10th in the league, but it’s a false representation of how “good” this team actually is on that side of the floor.
So far this season, Brooklyn’s offensive efficiency is just 24th in the NBA. How does a team that is so inefficient end up scoring so many points?
Pace. Brooklyn runs the fastest pace in the NBA, according to ESPN.com.
Consider the Nets’ offense the potato chip of the league — all calories, no sustenance.

Defensively, Brooklyn struggles even more than it does on offense. The team gives up 114.3 points per contest. That number is dead last, but again, consider pace as a factor there.
The problem is that you can’t blame pace 100 percent when it comes the the Nets’ defense. They are 28th in defensive efficiency.

Washington Wizards
On the year, the Washington Wizards are scoring 105.3 points per game. That number is good enough for 13th in the league.
Defensively, Washington gives up 106.5 points per contest. That number puts them at 24th in the league.

Against the Nets, the key will be to control the pace. Washington is middle-of-the-pack in that category.
Letting the Nets run up and down the court will allow Brooklyn to score cheap points in all four quarters.
Look for the Wizards to let John Wall create in the half court. How well he plays always determines how well the Wizards play, but with Washington looking to slow things down, keep an eye out for how well he gets players like Bradley Beal and Otto Porter when they’re not in transition.
