Why the Nets can cover:
The Nets have started the 2023-24 season with an explosive offense. They are currently averaging over 1.15 points per possession and shooting an impressive 42.9% from beyond the 3-point line. Not only that, but Brooklyn boasts a field goal percentage of 49.4% and a free throw shooting percentage of 80.6%, along with an average of 30.0 assists per game. On the defensive end, the Nets have performed well in the early stages of the season, ranking in the top 10 in free throw prevention, assist prevention, and defensive rebound rate. With Charlotte struggling from behind the arc and committing turnovers, the Nets’ defense has a favorable opportunity to shine.
Why the Hornets can cover:
Led by the dynamic guard LaMelo Ball, the Hornets have a strong offensive presence. Ball averaged 23.3 points and 8.4 assists per game last season and continues to impress. In the team’s most recent game, Ball scored 20 points, dished out nine assists, and grabbed nine rebounds. The Hornets as a whole have been sharing the ball effectively, averaging 27.0 assists per game this season. Additionally, they have been aggressive in drawing fouls, ranking in the top five of the NBA with 30.0 free throw attempts per game. On the defensive end, the Hornets have been solid, giving up fewer than 1.05 points per possession and holding opponents to just 25.4% shooting from beyond the arc. With Brooklyn’s defense struggling early in the season, the Hornets have a chance to capitalize on their defensive strengths.
