Teams Preview

Brooklyn Nets

The return of D’Angelo Russell against his former team did not go as planned. He missed the opportunity to beat the Lakers with 10 seconds remaining. The Brooklyn Nets will face the New York Knicks on Wednesday after their loss against the Californian side. Currently, the New York team is struggling. With 2 wins and 9 defeats in January, the Brooklyn Nets seem to have wandered this season. 

After ending November on a high note, winning three consecutive road games against the Phoenix Suns, Golden State Warriors, and Sacramento Kings, they have started December poorly, with only two wins and five losses and seem to be following the same path in January. The Brooklyn Nets are ranked 12th in the Eastern Conference on a 14-29 record  and 4th in the Atlantic Division with the Toronto Raptors taking the last position.

Key players for the team include Cam Thomas, who averages 24.7 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3.4 assists in just 19 games played. The team ranks 29th in terms of offence scoring a mere 106.6 points per game and 17th in terms of defence, allowing opponents to 114 points per game keeping them on a  negative 7.4 differential.

The Nets are also grappling with significant injury issues with only 2 players playing more than 30 games this season from the starting line up. They currently have 6 players injured, including Cam Thomas, Bojan Bogdanovic and Cameron Johnson. For the upcoming game against the OKC, the potential starting lineup may include Ben Simmons at point guard, Keon Johnson at shooting guard, Z.Williams at small forward, N.Clowney at power forward, and Nic Claxton at center.

New York Knicks

While the Knicks sit third in the Eastern Conference and hold a 27-16 record, being just a game and a half behind the Boston Celtics, January has been rough for the New York Knicks so far. With an astounding 12-2 win record in December, they have managed to win just four of the ten matches in January.. Statistically, they have been solid offensively and defensively, ranking them in the top 10 in both the departments.Offensively they average 117 points per game, while defensively, they allow 111.1 points per game, resulting in a respectable points differential of +5.9, just behind the Celtics and Cavaliers. The team ranks 22nd with just 43.3 rebounds per game.

Jalen Brunson is having another all star season, averaging 26 points and 7.4 assists.The new addition of Karl-Anthony Towns has made a massive impact, averaging 25.4 points and 13.9 rebounds, providing strong support for Brunson. Another Villanova alumnus, Mikal Bridges, averages 17.9 points and has been a handy third scorer for the team.

In terms of injuries, the Knicks are dealing with three players who are sidelined: Mitchell Robinson, and Kevin McCullar Jr. However, Towns is under day-to-day observation and will probably play. The starting lineup currently includes Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, Josh Hart, OG Anunoby, and Karl-Anthony Towns. Should Towns miss an upcoming game, Precious Achiuwa is expected to step in for him in the match against the Nets.
