Nets vs. Raptors preview
The Raptors are putting their six-game win streak on the line against the Nets, who represent the first victory in this recent stretch of matchups. The Raptors are the favorites on paper, especially with the game at home. However, the Nets aren’t going to give them the victory.
The Nets are one of the youngest rosters in the league with five first-round picks from this year’s draft, but they also have a group of unproven players looking to make their mark. That makes them a potential trap game almost every time they are on the court.
The Nets are nowhere near as talented as the Raptors, but their effort is always there because head coach Jordi Fernandez demands it. Fernandez has been the coach of the Nets for two seasons and he is leading the charge of rebuilding Brooklyn while also serving as Canada’s head coach for the senior men’s national team.
The Raptors know they will have to play their game at a high level against the Nets. If they can do that, they should be celebrating for a seventh consecutive game. If not, the game could come down to the final few possessions in the fourth quarter.
