Brooklyn will try and get more breathing room at the top of the Eastern Conference on Tuesday when they face the Toronto Raptors. In the first meeting between these two sides, it was the Nets who prevailed in enemy territory. This time around, they will look to find similar success in their own house at Barclays Center.
Fortunately for them, reinforcements are on the way in the form of James Harden. The Nets star currently averages 21 PPG and 10 APG, yet he has not even reached his typical groove so far. With some rest going into this matchup, there’s no doubt that Toronto will be in for a hand full containing him.
Here’s when you should tune in to see the game:
- Date: Tuesday, Dec. 14, 2021
