The Brooklyn Nets (0-6) are dealing with some issues right now as they are trying to figure out how to play hard enough to win their first game of the season. Brooklyn still has plenty of games to go in the 2025-26 season, but it seems like head coach Jordi Fernandez is pleading with his team to play hard Monday against the Minnesota Timberwolves (3-3) and if you’re wondering how you can watch all the action live, you’ve come to the right place!

The Nets enter this matchup after a 129-105 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday in which Brooklyn let go out of the rope in the second and fourth quarters due to a lack of effort. Cam Thomas led the way for the Nets to the tune of 29 points, but Brooklyn was unable to make much happen on either end of the floor, especially as they allowed Philadelphia to shoot 52.1% from the field.

The Timberwolves come into this game following 122-105 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday as Julius Randle led Minnesota to victory with his 30 points, seven rebounds, and four assists. Minnesota is still playing without guard Anthony Edwards, but it seems like Randle is going to try to will the team to wins in his absence as the franchise seeks to get back to the playoffs.

Here is what you need to know to get ready for this matchup:
