Brooklyn @ Memphis
Current Records: Brooklyn 1-1; Memphis 2-1
What to Know
The Brooklyn Nets have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with the Memphis Grizzlies and are hoping to record their first win since Jan. 4 of 2019. The Nets will take on Memphis at 8 p.m. ET Monday at FedExForum after having had a few days off. If the contest is anything like the Grizz’s 132-120 victory from their previous meeting in March, the scorekeeper will be kept real busy.
Brooklyn came out on top in a nail-biter against the Toronto Raptors this past Friday, sneaking past 109-105. Having forecasted a close win for Brooklyn, the oddsmakers were right on the money. They can attribute much of their success to center Nicolas Claxton, who posted a double-double on 19 points and 11 rebounds along with four blocks, and point guard Kyrie Irving, who had 30 points and seven assists.
Meanwhile, there’s no need to mince words: Memphis lost to the Dallas Mavericks this past Saturday, and they lost bad. The score wound up at 137-96. Memphis was in a tough position by the half, with the score already sitting at 64-36. The top scorer for the Grizzlies was point guard Ja Morant (20 points).
Brooklyn’s win lifted them to 1-1 while Memphis’ defeat dropped them down to 2-1. We’ll see if the Nets can repeat their recent success or if the Grizz bounces back and reverse their fortune.
