Brooklyn Nets Betting Preview
The Brooklyn Nets have been ice-cold so far this season as they’ve lost 11 of their first 12 games and they will be hoping to avoid a fifth straight defeat after getting beaten by the Magic in a 105-98 road defeat on Friday. Michael Porter Jr led the team in scoring with 24 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists, Ziaire Williams added 15 points off the bench while Nic Claxton chipped in with 13 points and two blocks.
As a team, the Nets shot 43 percent from the field and 10 of 39 from the 3-point line as they set the tone with 36 points in the first quarter to lead for most of the contest. However, they couldn’t maintain that pace in the fourth quarter and got outscored by 13-2 in the final 1:49 to lose yet another one.
Washington Wizards Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Washington Wizards have been just as cold as the Nets as they’ve lost 11 of their first 12 games and they are hoping to snap a 10-game losing streak after getting scorched by the Rockets in a 135-112 road defeat on Wednesday. Alex Sarr has been a long bright spot for the Wizards as he led the way with 25 points, 11 rebounds, and four assists on 10 of 15 shooting. Kyshawn George added 16 points with seven rebounds and nine assists, while Tre Johnson chipped in with 12 points.
As a team, the Wizards shot 46 percent from the field and 15 of 38 from the 3-point line, but the writing was on the wall early in this one. The Wizards were never in the contest after allowing 81 points in the first half. CJ McCollum had a night to forget as he shot just two of 11 for his 10 points.

Brooklyn Nets vs Washington Wizards Prediction
The Nets are still banged up with Cam Thomas and Haywood Highsmith both out, while the Wizards are keeping an eye on Bilal Coulibaly, who is questionable for this one. You really couldn’t back either of these teams with any confidence of a return these days, as both teams have been terrible. The Nets have been able to look competitive in a few games before they go cold and let their opponent run away with it, while the Wizards can surprise any team if McCollum and Sarr can get hot. I won’t be watching this contest, but if I had to choose a winner, I would lean towards the Nets who almost beat the Magic in their last outing.
