Tonight the reigning MVP visits the Nets in the Barclays Center
The Brooklyn Nets' difficult early-season schedule continues tonight when they face the Denver Nuggets and reigning MVP Nikola Jokic. Having just dispatched Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks in its home opener, Brooklyn looks to repeat Sunday night's all-around performance against a Denver squad that's hungry to lift its record back to .500.1. Cam Thomas needs another 30-ball. Averaging 30.
2. Dennis Schröder must continue his hot start. Buried by Thomas' jaw-dropping performances has been the ever-steady play from the Nets' veteran point guard. Without Simmons, he'll be facilitating the offense on his own against Denver. Albeit in a small sample size, since the beginning of the 2024-25 campaign Schröder is averaging a career-high 20.7 points nightly.
3. Start Nic Claxton. A minutes restriction has hindered the Nets' $100 million big man in the young season, but he looked worth every penny in the victory over the Bucks. Simmons' injury costs Brooklyn another interior defender, and still without Day'Ron Sharpe's services, the Nets cannot afford to limit Claxton's plying time against Jokic.Following the Denver matchup, Brooklyn's schedule gets slightly easier.
