The Brooklyn Nets (0-0) will finally begin their season on Tuesday with a road matchup at the Charlotte Hornets (0-0) that will give a look at what each team looks like amidst its rebuild. Brooklyn is hoping to begin their preseason slate on the right foot and if you're wondering where you can watch all the action live, you've come to the right place!
The Nets come into this game with many around the NBA wondering how much forward Julius Randle can change the fortunes of one of the youngest teams in the league. Brooklyn not only added Randle to the roster over the offseason, but they also acquired veterans in guard Keon Ellis and center Mo Wagner to give head coach Jordi Fernandez more experience to work with this season.
The Hornets made one
of the most interesting decisions in the entire Association this summer as they went from a team that amassed a 44-38 record to shipping off LaMelo Ball and Miles Bridges. Granted, Charlotte still has an impressive young core of Brandon Miller, Naz Reid, and Kon Knueppel, but some of the interest surrounding the team will likely include how this new iteration of the roster looks this season.
Here is what you need to know to get ready for this matchup:
