Brooklyn Nets

The Brooklyn Nets stats have skyrocketed since Steve Nash was fired, as they’re among the best teams in offensive and defensive rating.
Nets’ Defensive Side
You can see that the ball has been moving around a lot better since Jacque Vaughn took over as head coach, and players on the defensive side of the ball are making much better switches and read on that end of the floor.
Having Kevin Durant on your team is such a luxury, as defenses will be so locked in on trying to stop him, but the role players on the Nets have developed such good chemistry, which is beautiful to see.

Kyrie Irving will be out due to a team suspension. Nic Claxton is probable with an eye contusion. Seth Curry is probable with an ankle injury.
Ben Simmons is questionable with a knee injury. Yuta Watanabe is questionable with a lower back contusion.
