My Prediction
Brooklyn Nets by 7Could I interest anyone in a little NBA showdown between the Brooklyn Nets and Washington Wizards? It's like a grandmas' knitting circle, only with more slam dunks and less cookies. Though seriously, who wouldn't prefer cookies?
Let's dive into the players for a second. For Brooklyn, we see Cameron Johnson is carrying the scoring load with 19.1 points this season, though his rebounding and assisting efforts could be questioned. Sidekick-in-crime, Keon Johnson follows next with stats like a short guy in a high jump competition. Between them, they make a pretty solid duo. Not forgetting, Nic Claxton pulling down rebounds like kids on a swing.
Over on the Wizards side, Kyle Kuzma's recent performances trend hotter than my morning coffee with an average of 18.4 points per game. Jordan Poole, with his last month's stats, might confuse you whether he's competing in scoring or assisting. Pulling down rebounds we have Jonas Valanciunas, who's practically built a house in the paint with 8.6 on average last month.
Looking at historical meetings, it's like watching a ping pong match. They've been passing wins back and forth, with the last one in line being the Wizards. The regular season record reads like a tragedy novel for the Wizards, sitting lowly at 9-46, while the Nets, with their 21-35, make mediocre look good.
The recent victories of the Nets are what employee of the month plaques are made of. They've seen more W's than a Westlife concert. On the contrary, you would probably count the Wizards' victories faster than you could spell 'win'. In the conference standings, the Nets are practically on steroids compared to the Wizards, sitting at #11 vs #15.
As a betting man, this seems like a no-brainer. A sure thing. A done deal. And so on. So, ladies and gents, my prediction is:
