Match details:
Teams: Brooklyn Nets and Denver Nuggets
Venue: Barclays Center
Match Timing: December 09, @01:30 AM
———————————————————————————————————
Spencer Dinwiddie: He has been a revelation of sorts in the absence of Kyrie Irving. He is leading the team amongst the active players with 20.5 points per game and can catch fire. He is also 1st in the squad with 6.1 assists per game.
Joe Harris: Another player on Nets’ roster who is more than capable of pulling a rabbit out of the hat. He had team-high efforts in the last game and is averaging 14.9 points per game this season.
Jamal Murray: Currently the leader in the team with 18.1 points per game. He had a rare off-day against the Celtics in the last game, so expect him to be better here.
Nikola Jokic: As mentioned above, he was untouchable in the last game against the Boston Celtics. And that was no less than he can do in each game. Jokic is averaging 15.7 points per game and leads the team in rebounds (10.1), assists (6.1).
———————————————————————————————————
Brooklyn Nets team news: Kyrie Irving remains out of contention due to a shoulder injury. The former Cleveland Cavaliers star had missed a total nine games for the Nets this season.
