The Nets‘ starting five will not be as weakened as in home games. Because vaccination refusers Kyrie Irving is allowed to play on trips like the upcoming one to Washington due to his vaccination status, he is only not allowed to enter the Barclays Arena at home games.
Consequently, Irving will keep the Wizards defense busy! Nonetheless, a number of other key Nets players will be absent. Bemby, Claxton, Haris and Millsap are all capable bench players who usually provide the necessary relief.
In the absence of these alternatives, the Nets could break down early! The Wizards are a young team with agile players who usually even show their best performance in the third quarter. At the moment things are going really well for the hosts anyway!

Not only did Wasington not have a single failure to complain about, he was able to win four of his last five NBA games. Incidentally, the last win was crucial to really trusting them in my Wizards Nets prediction!
With a 117-98 win over the Sixers, the Bullets proved they could hold their own against a team with a strong center like Joel Embiid. For that reason alone I would have credited them with a triumph over the Nets tonight even “with” Durant.
Like Philadelphia, Brooklyn also has a similarly dominant center around which its own game revolves. But with Durantula out, Washington should have an easier time taming the visitors.
