The Brooklyn Nets begin their preseason slate of games on Monday against the Los Angeles Lakers and the game should give everyone a look at what Brooklyn could look like. More to the point, the starting lineup for Monday’s exhibition could be a tell of things to come in the future depending on a number of circumstances.
The Nets announced that the starting lineup against the Lakers is Ben Simmons, Spencer Dinwiddie, Cam Thomas, Mikal Bridges, and Nic Claxton. It is important to note that Cam Johnson is out for Monday’s game due to his left hamstring strain keeping him off the floor for the time being.
With that being said, there has been speculation over whether Simmons and Dinwiddie could see floor time together along with most in Nets nation wondering if Cam Thomas would have an increased role. Both questions could be answered as this preseason continues so Monday is an important first look.
With this lineup, it seems that the #Nets are trying to see if playing Ben Simmons at point forward can work https://t.co/2LLyp9s8RL
