Advice and Prediction

The Nets are coming off their third win of the season and while their victories will most likely come few and far between, Brooklyn looked like a different team on Friday against the Celtics. Head coach Jordi Fernandez has been asking his players to play the game with the passion and intensity that lends itself to winning games and the Nets looked like that on Friday.

The Raptors have actually been on a tear thus far into the season after being a team that many considered to be a middling team that could have a shot at the play-in tournament if they had some luck go their way. However, with the team staying relatively healthy during the early part of the regular season, Toronto looks the part of an up-and-coming team that isn’t rebuilding anymore.

From the outside looking in, it looks like the Nets and Raptors are on opposite sides when it comes to various indicators of how good both teams are on both ends of the floor. Brooklyn ranks towards the bottom of the league in terms of offensive rating, defensive rating, and pace while Toronto appears to be one of the better teams in the NBA in all three categories.

Prediction: Raptors 120, Nets 110
