The Brooklyn Nets (13-37) are still in the midst of their rough patch that has been occurring since January and even after the trade deadline, it seems that the Nets are still looking for answers to their woes. Brooklyn acquired two players prior to Thursday’s deadline and with the Washington Wizards (14-36) coming to town, the Nets have a chance to end their three-game losing streak. If you’re wondering how you can watch all the action live, you’ve come to the right place!

The Nets come into this game after a 118-98 loss at the Orlando Magic on Thursday in which they trailed by as many as 26 points in the contest due to how Orlando was able to establish their presence in the paint. Rookie guard Egor Demin led Brooklyn in scoring with 26 points and four rebounds while fellow rookie guard Nolan Traore had 21 points and seven assists of his own.

The Wizards enter this matchup following a 126-117 win at the Detroit Pistons on Thursday in which Washington shocked the NBA world with how they were able to take care of business against the Pistons. Rookie forward Will Riley had 20 points and six rebounds off the bench while guard Sharife Cooper had 18 points and five assists, also off the bench.

Advice and Prediction

The Nets have been having a tough time finding their rhythm since the calendar turned to January as they are struggling on both ends of the floor. The hope is that Brooklyn is able to turn their season around following the trade deadline with all of the players not having to worry about being traded away any longer.

The Wizards are in an interesting situation at the moment as they are still one of the youngest teams in the league, but have traded for Trae Young and Anthony Davis over the course of this season. Young and Davis will not be playing in this game, but this game could show how Washington will rely on for the rest of the season.

The Nets and Wizards rank towards the bottom of the league in offensive rating and defensive rating, but the pace at which these teams play at is what could be the determining factor in this matchup. Brooklyn plays at one of the slowest paces in the NBA while Washington plays at one of the faster paces so whichever team could establish their pace of play will emerge from this matchup victoriously.

Prediction: Nets 115, Wizards 110
