The Nets star is going through a great moment leading the team with 29.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game. The Nets forward is a fundamental part of what the team can do and his level added to the ability of other figures such as Kyrie Irving, LaMarcus Aldridge and Blake Griffin, will be of vital importance to see if they are capable of keeping the title of the NBA. With the defensive additions of the team and the loss of Harden, the shooting guard will have more time in possession of the ball and we will be able to see how he leads the offense.
The Nets arrive after an important victory against the Houston Rockets by a score of 113 to 122, they will also have very important duels regarding the position in the conference table. Once the health protocols have been lifted in the New York area, Kyrie Irving joins the team because he will be able to play some of these home and away games, as long as health regulations allow it. The team is in 10th place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 41 wins and 38 losses. Already with the subject of Kyrie Irving come to less, the spotlights have turned completely to the good moment that the team is experiencing at the hands of Seth Curry, Kevin Durant and Andre Drummond. His best weapon is still shooting from a distance, but Brooklyn's defense has improved markedly and he is playing an important part in getting close results and using Irving as a piece to better organize the team's rotation in games away from Barclays Center and as a major boost.
The New York forward is the team's absolute scoring leader with an average of 20.1 points, 5.9 assists and 2.9 rebounds per game. The young figure of the Knicks has connected very well with Kemba Walker and Julius Randle but, without a doubt, he needs more help to show us the good level that the team showed us during the season. However, this effect is more noticeable due to the results of the team given the losses of the squad, having suffered different losses during the course of the campaign, the team showed that although it is ready to fight for postseason positions, it must make improvements to show its full potential.
The New York team comes after a victory against the Magic by a score of 118 to 88. The team has been using a Big Ball formation with many tall players and, also, they have been affected by contagions forcing the team to have to make constant changes to their starting lineup. The Knicks arrive with a record of 35 wins and 44 losses, placing them in 11th place in the Eastern Conference. The team has found mixed results through the connection of Julius Randle, Evan Fournier and Kemba Walker, the season was a bitter pill for the fans after last year's great result, unfortunately the Big Apple squad was not enough to get in to postseason and now they focus on giving minutes to the entire squad to be able to make adjustments in the summer for the following season. With the announcement of Kemba's withdrawal, the team showed that they had thrown in the towel in search of a place in the playoffs and we will see how they return next season. Closing with a victory against Brooklyn could be something positive to close the season in good shape.
Madison Square Garden located in New York City will host this duel between two teams with different realities, while the Nets secured their pass to the Play-In, the Knicks are already thinking about next season. This stadium has a capacity for 20,800 fans and was inaugurated in 1968.
