Brooklyn Nets vs Cleveland Cavaliers preview

The Nets will play the second leg of a back-to-back after defeating the LA Lakers 111-108 on Monday. Even though the Lakers were without LeBron James, it was an impressive victory for the Nets who are still in with a slight chance of making the play-in tournament.

Brooklyn was led by Cameron Johnson and Keon Johnson’s 18 points each. Noah Clowney had 19 points off the bench. This was the team’s only second win in the past 10 games.

The Cavaliers, meanwhile, are in a league-leading 14-game win streak. They are coming off of a 112-100 win against the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday. It was a mixed team effort as all starters scored in double digits and were led by Max Strus’ 17 points. Donovan Mitchell had 15 points, while Evan Mobley and Darius Garland had 13 points each.

Cleveland is better rested and should have it easy against Brooklyn.
