6686 Sports November 16th The NBA regular season will continue tomorrow, Beijing time, with the Wizards sitting at the home team court to face the Nets.
The Wizards' performance so far this season has been very poor. After losing to the Rockets, they suffered a 10-game losing streak. They are currently ranked second to last in the Eastern Conference with a record of 1 win and 11 losses. The Wizards performed very poorly on both offense and defense, averaging 113.4 points per game and conceding 129.7 points per game, making them the team that conceded the most points in the league. However, the Wizards' outside performance is acceptable, averaging 13.6 three-pointers per game and shooting 37.4% from three-point range, both ranking in the upper reaches of the league. In addition, the Wizards do not control errors and violations well enough, with an average of 17.5 errors per game and an average of 23.6 violations per game, both ranking at the forefront of the league.
In the most recent game, the Wizards lost to the Rockets 112-135. Salk scored 25 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists. George had 17 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists. McCollum was icy with the ball in this campaign and made 2 of 11 points. Whittemore scored 11 points and 3 rebounds against his old team, allowing the Rockets to score 81 points in the first half. Although the Wizards tried their best in the second half, it was to no avail.
The Nets share the same problem. After losing to the Magic in the last game, they suffered a 4-game losing streak. So far this season, they still have 1 win and 11 losses, ranking third from the bottom in the Eastern Conference. The Nets averaged 108.9 points per game and conceded 123.3 points per game, both ranking at the bottom of the league. The Nets are also very poor at competing for rebounds. Their rebound average of 38.4 per game ranks last in the league. In all statistics, the Nets are unsatisfactory.
In the last game, the Nets lost to the Magic 98-105. The team had a slight advantage in the first half, but they only scored 16 points in the final quarter and were eventually reversed. Porter scored 24 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists in this campaign, Jamin was 2-for-9 with poor ball control, Clooney was 2-for-8, and Martin was 2-for-7. Facing the Magic who lacked Banqueiro, the Nets still lacked stamina and could not end their losing streak.
According to the latest injury report, in tomorrow's game for the Nets, Highsmith and Thomas will be absent, while for the Wizards, Coulibaly and Watkins are doubtful. Two bottom teams with poor performance meet, let us wait and see who can end the losing streak.
