The Brooklyn Nets have a tough task ahead of them with the Philadelphia 76ers improving mightily under the watch of head coach Doc Rivers and president of basketball operations Daryl Morey. But, the Nets just knocked off a tough opponent from the Western Conference in the Utah Jazz, and the Sixers are on their second day of a back-to-back.
The Nets remain without Kevin Durant (quarantine; COVID-19 health and safety protocols) and Nic Claxton (right knee tendinopathy), along with Spencer Dinwiddie (ACL surgery). Rodions Kurucs (ankle) and Reggie Perry (groin) have both been deemed questionable for the Nets.
