What to know about the Nets
Brooklyn is expecting the return of Ben Simmons, who has been out since November 6 with a pinched nerve in his back. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft has battled injuries throughout his career, but he was once considered one of the best young players in the league. Simmons made the All-Star Game in three of his first four years after missing his first season with a foot injury but has fallen off since the end of the 2020-21 season. He was averaging just 6.5 ppg over the first six games of this year, but he added 10.8 rebounds and 6.7 assists while serving as a top defensive option in Brooklyn.
The Nets enter off a 106-104 win over the Rockets on Saturday to snap a three-game losing streak. Brooklyn has dropped 12 of its last 15 games, but Simmons would be a welcomed additional on Monday. Mikal Bridges is averaging 21.7 ppg this season with Cameron Thomas adding 21 ppg. See which team to pick here.
