The Nets lost their spot at the top of the Eastern Conference following Chicago’s win on Sunday, but Brooklyn still has the joint-best record in the East. They can improve that mark on Monday night in Cleveland.
A victory can also make it three consecutive wins in a row for Brooklyn. With Kevin Durant (28.6 PPG) returning to the lineup and James Harden (21.2 PPG, averaging 28,4 PPG in his last five games, the team is finally hitting their stride. Even so, with Cleveland getting Jarrett Allen back in the lineup, the Nets’ plans of retaking the first seed can get ruined.
The Cavaliers unfortunately still don’t have the services of Evan Mobley (elbow), Collin Sexton (knee) and Lamar Stevens (ankle). On the other side, the Nets won’t have Kyrie Irving (ineligible), Joe Harris (ankle), Bruce Brown (hamstring) and Nicolas Claxton (illness).
