Believe or not, the Houston Rockets are suddenly the hottest team in the NBA, and they’ll try to extend their current winning streak to seven games on Wednesday night against the Brooklyn Nets. On the back end of a back-to-back, the Nets have to bring their A-game as Rockets look like a different team than the one that started the season 1-16.
Kevin Durant (24 PTS) is coming off a team-high 24 points on Tuesday versus the Dallas Mavericks, but he did come out with the typical firepower he is capable of coming out with. If the Nets want to play their cards right, they should aim to get him going early on.
Nets vs Mavericks notable injuries:
Kyrie Irving (not with team) and Joe Harris (ankle injury recovery) are out.
Jalen Green (hamstring injury), Kevin Porter Jr. (thigh injury), Usman Garuba (thigh injury), Daniel House Jr. (right foot sprain) and John Wall (team management) – All OUT
