A formidable Wizards team, riding their longest win streak of the season, face the hapless Brooklyn Nets, losers of 3 of their last 4 games.

I don't see how the Wizards could possibly lose.

2 straight games of 130 points from the offense. Something tells me they will need more than that to beat the Nets.

Jarrett Allen vs Thomas Bryant. Matchup to watch

Keep the same starting 5 as last game. Bring Westbrook off the bench. I expect a W.

I'm excited for this one, should be a fun game! Good barometer to see where we are, hopefully Wizards will play up to the competition. Expect a lot of effort and energy from them tonight!

Over/under on the Wizards giving up 140 points...I'd say there's a good chance.

EZ over

I think they will keep the Nets in check. Bonga will play well for 25 mins before fouling out. We will get enough D from everyone else to keep their weapons in check. What is the over/under on the Wizards scoring 130 pts? Wizards are 4th in the league in scoring at 117.8 and the Nets are 5th at 117.3 pts/gm.

Bonga ain’t playing at all

Raul Neto vs. Kyrie Irving -- 2d matchup to watch...

Didn’t they score over 150 points and lose last season to Houston?

158-159

Sunday early evening massacre, may we have a hot-shooting night from 3-point land

I expect a win.

With the temperaments of Kyrie and KD and a new coach there’s bound to be some ego clashes. The Wizards can and will score a bunch and the Nets will get tighter as the game goes on because they expect to beat a 1-5 team.

Win streak will reach 2 in what might be a surprisingly easy win. Beal might have a career game and Westbrook is definitely going at Kyrie .

I changed my opinion about this team. It’s still a 37-win team.

Just looking at the upcoming jan/feb schedule even if the Wiz turn things around the season might already be lost. Too many good teams in the league.

Love the pace of the schedule in January, lots of basketball.

Expecting a competitive & high scoring game. Will be interesting to see who checks Durant. I imagine Brown and Bonga will both get a chance at some point. Nets pull away in 4th as they go exclusively to PNR which we can’t defend in general, much less Kyrie & Durant.

My prediction: Russ falls two TOs short of a quintuple double.

15pts
11 assists
16 boards
13 WTFs
8 TOs

Beal is money from 2-point range. He just can't hit a 3.

Brooks' "play fast" offense...I absolutely hate it. It's sloppy.

I'd like to see Hachimura attack on offense & get some fouls on KD.
