The Brooklyn Nets (25-53) are one of the teams in the NBA that are unfortunately just waiting for the season to end so that they can focus on the Draft and free-agency. However, Brooklyn still has games left to play and they hope to end their losing streak against the New Orleans Pelicans (21-57) and if you’re wondering how you can watch all the action live, you’ve come to the right place!
The Nets come into this game following a 120-109 loss to the Toronto Raptors on Sunday in which Brooklyn trailed by as many as 23 points in the contest despite most of Toronto’s starters being held out of the contest. Nets guard Reece Beekman made his first NBA start and put up 14 points, four rebounds, five assists, and three steals while center Drew Timme dropped 13 points, seven rebounds, and two assists in his first start since signing with the team.
The Pelicans enter this matchup after a 111-107 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday in which New Orleans had a chance to pull off an upset against a Milwaukee team that was missing Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard for the matchup. Antonio Reeves stepped up for the Pelicans with 23 points and two assists while Yves Missi had 18 points, 12 rebounds, and three assists of his own.
Here’s when and where you should tune in to see the matchup:
