What you need to know about the Nets
Brooklyn received a tough blow on Sunday as it fell 111-95 to the Charlotte Hornets. Point guard Patty Mills struggled for Brooklyn, playing 31 minutes but scoring just five points on 2-of-10 shooting. It's been a slow start for Brooklyn, a team that continue to play without Kyrie Irving (medical protocols) indefinitely.
Kevin Durant is averaging 33 points per game, but no other player is averaging more than 18.3 ppg. Despite being known as one of the top offensive teams in the league, Brooklyn is averaging just 104.3 points per game thus far, which ranks 23rd in the league.
What you need to know about the Wizards
Meanwhile, it may have taken overtime to finish the job, but Washington ultimately got the result it was hoping for on Friday with a 135-134 win over the Indiana Pacers. Washington can attribute much of its success to point guard Spencer Dinwiddie, a former member of the Nets, who shot 6-for-9 from downtown and finished with 34 points, nine assists and six boards.
Dinwiddie leads the team in scoring average with 23.5 points per game, while Bradley Beal is averaging 25 points per game. Beal is questionable for Monday with a hip injury.
