On Wednesday, the Nets lost their third game of the season against the Miami Heat, dropping to a record of 2-3. Their next challenge comes in the form of the Indiana Pacers.
The Pacers, who have only won one game on the season so far and have a record of 1-4, beat that same Miami team. Brooklyn will have to play much better basketball to walk away with a victory on Friday.
Kevin Durant has averaged 29.8 PPG and 10 RPG during this five game stretch. Last game, a game-high of 25 points still was not enough. Expect a huge outing from the 33-year-old to help the Nets bounce back.
Indiana will be without Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring), TJ Warren (foot), Kelan Martin (hamstring) and Isiah Jackson (knee). Caris LeVert (back) is questionable.
For Brooklyn, they still won’t have the services of Kyrie Irving. As for Nicolas Claxton though, he is questionable.
