The Brooklyn Nets intend to capitalize on this 2-game series against the Cavaliers to get back to winning their games. Before they hosted on Tuesday, they’d lost three games consecutively, and two of them were on their home court.
That loss isn’t something that happens frequently with the Nets, because generally speaking, they’ve not had a bad game on their courts. Brooklyn won 19 of the 33 games it played so far.
No matter, fans must note that the Nets are not the same club they were a few months ago, particularly because they lost Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, amidst other losses they suffered this campaign.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are the Eastern Conference’s fourth-best team, a well-deserved ranking made possible by their exceptional defense, which has the best record in the whole NBA too, scoring an average of 106.1 points allowed per night.
Prior to today’s match, Cleveland strung together good results in the competition, they won 3 of the last 4 games they held. But, they’ll need to put their best team forward for this game, mainly because it is a road game. The Cavaliers have a bad record in away matches, with a 16-20 score.
Besides that, they’ve done quite well for themselves, when playing on the road, winning 3 of their most recent 4 matches.
MatchPlug Prediction
Due to the bad results gotten in their recent games, the Nets may not triumph in today’s match. Despite, this there is a low chance of them hosting a team that’s an actual threat on their home court, so they may get back on the winning wagon today.
This game will not have a large number of points for the final score. The team with the best defense in the NBA will be facing a team that gets decent scores in their games, with a 112.8 average.
Experts expect the Nets VS Cavaliers to be a close game, where Cleveland will wear out Brooklyn’s offense. Although they try in defending, they still have one of the worst offenses in the league, with an average of 112.2.
