Following an ugly loss on opening night to the Milwaukee Bucks, the Brooklyn Nets look to flip the page against the Philadelphia 76ers. With so much new personnel, a new rotation and rust from the offseason, the Nets may struggle once again against another contender in the East.
Kevin Durant’s team-high of 32 points along with Patty Mills’ (21 PTS, 7-11 FG) nearly perfect shooting performance off the bench on Tuesday was not enough. More players need to step up if Brooklyn wants to pick up this win.
Again, the Nets will be without Kyrie Irving who is still yet to be vaccinated. As for the Sixers, they are still without Ben Simmons. Shake Milton and Grant Riller are also out while 76ers star Joel Embiid remains questionable.
