The Game
This is the first night of a back-to-back for the Nets. They host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night. The Nets started to have Nic Claxton switch more on defense, and the defenders behind him will need to be in sync behind him while he’s out on the perimeter. Brooklyn’s defense has sprung many a leak this year and if they want to get a win any time soon, they’ll need to correct that in a hurry. His job will be a bit easier as he won’t have to face his old nemesis Embiid, but the Nets defense can’t afford to think they’ve got an easy night at the office.
