Brooklyn Nets Preview
The Nets, on paper, are one of the best teams in the NBA as they have a wide array of stars that have proven their talents in the league. However, their 2021-22 campaign has not gone as expected. They sit in eighth position in the East with a 38-34 record. With just 10 games left, the team will now have to fire if they are to finish at a higher position.
Kevin Durant has been at his usual best since returning from his MCL injury. Although Kyrie Irving has played limited games due to the vaccine mandate, his brilliance there has helped the Nets to some dominant wins. The duo will finally get a chance to play together on Wednesday, which will be a great advantage for the Nets.
Facing the Grizzlies has been a tough test for all the teams in the league this season. The young guns have done exceptionally well against the big teams and the Nets will have to put on a big performance if they are to come out of this game as winners.
Brooklyn Nets Predicted Lineup
G - Kyrie Irving, G - Patty Mills, F - Kevin Durant, F - Bruce Brown, C - Andre Drummond
Memphis Grizzlies Preview
The Memphis Grizzlies have been one of the surprising teams in the NBA. After showing glimpses of their abilities in the playoffs last season, the Grind City team are back to prove a point and they have done it in style. The Grizzlies are second in the West with a 49-23 record and are set to enter the playoffs for the second straight year.
Ja Morant has been their main player and his phenomenal performances have helped the Grizzlies stay at their best. The team has proven to be terrific without him as well, but with Morant, they look a lot more solid.
After staying out of action for nearly three months, Dillon Brooks returned to action with a stunning performance against the Rockets. His return will certainly give the Grizzlies more confidence as he is one of the best two-way talents in the league.
Going into this game against the Nets, the team from Memphis are chasing their fiftieth win of the season. This would be the first time since the 2014-15 season that the Grizzlies have won 50 games and doing it against the likes of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving would be a great feat for them to achieve.
Memphis Grizzlies Predicted Lineup
G - Tyus Jones, G - Desmond Bane, F - Dillon Brooks, F - Jaren Jackson Jr., C - Steven Adams
