Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- No injuries to report
Brooklyn Nets
Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson have each played well but in separate games and primarily in the first half as Doc Rivers made adjustments at the half.
To be fair, this series is more about gaining experience for the Nets plus Sean Marks getting an opportunity to gauge his roster to figure out offseason moves.
That said, coming back to Brooklyn for the next two matches should help some of the Nets feel more comfortable and hopefully sparks Royce O’Neale specifically who shot 38.9% from deep on 5.5 attempts this season but is 2 of 12 through two matches.
Stats
Brooklyn allows 112.5 points ranking 10th and possesses the fourth-best opponent field goal percentage of 46.3% but ranks 21st on perimeter defense as foes shoot 36.7% from deep.

Free Philadelphia 76ers vs. Brooklyn Nets NBA Prediction:
Philly was almost as strong on the road (25-16) as they were at home (29-12). Joel Embiid has dealt with the added defensive attention and still impacted the wins at Wells Fargo.
Unfortunately for the Nets that fact likely means he’s due for a breakout performance and doing it on the opposing team’s court would fit into his nature of enjoying being the villain.
As much as the Nets have a number of 3-point snipers and 2-way players this series seems destined for a sweep or Gentleman’s sweep at best.
