Brooklyn Nets Betting Preview
The Brooklyn Nets will be eager to secure their first win of the season after coming up just short to the Hornets in a 110-103 loss on Wednesday. Julius Randle led the team with 33 points, eight rebounds and seven assists on 11 of 18 shooting, Michael Porter Jr added 26 points on 10 of 21 shooting but no other player finished in double figures in scoring. As a team, the Nets shot 45 percent from the field and 12 of 31 from the 3-point line as they fought hard to keep pace with the Hornets until early in the fourth quarter where the Hornets pulled away. The Nets’ duo of Randle and Porter Jr were really left stranded by their teammates as players like Keon Ellis scored just seven points, while Egor Demin scored just four points on two of 10 shooting.
Cleveland Cavaliers Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Cleveland Cavaliers might still be in shock after getting beaten by the 76ers in a dramatic 114-106 road defeat on Thursday. Donovan Mitchell led the team with 32 points on 11 of 19 shooting, Evan Mobley added 18 points while James Harden chipped in with 16 points and five assists. As a team, the Cavaliers shot 45 percent from the field and just seven of 29 from the 3-point line as they got off to a terrific start with 69 points in the first half to take an early 29-point lead, but they allowed the 76ers to hang around and quickly found themselves in trouble as they couldn’t buy a basket in the fourth quarter where they scored just 16 points. Peyton Watson had a rough game as he scored just eight points on two of seven shooting.
Brooklyn v Cleveland Free Prediction
The Nets are still playing without the injured Tyler Bilodeau while the Cavaliers expect to have a full squad. The Nets will be kicking themselves after coming up short to the Hornets in their last outing, but there were some positives to draw from the loss, especially the play of Randle and Porter Jr, but I feel they are unlucky to be matched up with the Cavaliers straight after they suffered such a heartbreaking loss. I expect the Cavaliers to come out strong and storm their way to a comfortable win at home.
