This is a weird game to cap because you have no idea what to expect from the Nets. The Brooklyn Nets are free-falling right now with the losses, trade rumors, and Harden has already been ruled out. Who knows if Harden is even on the team by the time this thing tips off. With that said, the Washington Wizards are losing their last five games by an average of 13.4 points and have already shutdown Beal for the remainder of the season. The Nets will have Kyrie for this contest, which has to count for something. It’s Nets or pass for me. If the Nets can’t win this game…
