Nets Game Tonight: Nets vs. Blazers prediction, betting odds, TV channel for Jan. 10
After their initial Dec. 23 matchup was postponed due to COVID-19, the Brooklyn Nets are in Oregon to take on the Portland Trail Blazers. The 25-13 Nets are in second place in the Eastern Conference, and the 15-24 Trail Blazers are in 11th in the Western Conference.
On Sunday, Brooklyn defeated San Antonio, 121-119 in overtime to break a five-game losing streak at Barclays Center. Kevin Durant led the Nets with 28 points (11-of-21) and James Harden scored 26 (9-of-18).
The Nets are 11-10 in games played at home but are 14-3 in road contests. Kyrie Irving made his season debut for Brooklyn last Wednesday in Indiana, and Monday’s game against Portland will mark the second game that he’s played in for the Nets this year.
The Trail Blazers are also coming off a win. Portland beat Sacramento, 103-88, on Sunday behind Anfernee Simons 31 points (10-of-17). Jusuf Nurkic added 14 points and pulled down 16 rebounds.
Portland’s without two of its key players, Damian Lillard (abdomen) and CJ McCollum (chest), along with Larry Nance Jr. (knee) and Norman Powell (health and safety protocols).
