The Nets team that beat the Pacers on Saturday was largely unrecognizable. The one that will play Monday in Washington will look a lot more familiar.

, all of the missing players are expected to be back against the Wizards except for O’Neale, who did not travel with the team.

The athletic guard, who is coming back from surgery on a torn left Achilles tendon and was re-signed by the Nets this summer, had 14 points in the first quarter, slapping the floor after a big play. “Obviously, I didn’t get a chance to play last time we played them here. So definitely I was excited. I got to sleep in my own bed last night. So I mean, I felt like home, I’m not gonna lie.”The Nets, the worst rebounding team in the league, benefitted from starting bruiser Day’Ron Sharpe and Markieff Morris. They had a 29-7 edge over the Pacers in offensive rebounds. That’s the most by any team in a game this season and the most by the Nets since they had 30 in Jan.
