Brooklyn has 13 players on the injury report, and nine of them are currently in the league’s health and safety protocols. On Saturday, the Nets had just eight players available to suit up when they lost to the Magic at home, 100-93. According to Elias Sports Bureau, it was the first time since April 15, 2009, that the team submitted a starting lineup that included three rookies.
This will be the third straight Nets game postponed by the league. They’re also scheduled to take on the Lakers in a marquee primetime matchup on Christmas Day. At the moment, it’s not clear if that game will take place as planned. The uncertainty is undoubtedly impacting how bookmakers are handicapping the game as well.
Bettors can find Brooklyn anywhere from a one-point favorite to a 1.5-point underdog across the market.
