At a glance

The Brooklyn Nets (0-4) host the Washington Wizards (2-3) on Saturday, February 6 at 6:00 PM ET at Barclays Center in NBA action. The Basketlog model gives the Nets a 59% chance to win and projects a 113-116 score (Wizards – Nets), about 229 total points. This season, the Nets are 0-2 at home and the Wizards are 1-2 on the road. Since the start of the season: 0-4 for the Nets and 2-3 for the Wizards (current streaks: Nets L4, Wizards L2). A close game (margin of 5 points or fewer) happens in only 30% of cases according to the model. Reported injuries: Justin Champagnie (Wizards), Tristan Vukcevic (Wizards), Jamir Watkins (Wizards), Egor Demin (Nets) and Tyler Bilodeau (Nets). Prediction confidence: low.

The analysis Model

Slight edge to the Nets, but the Wizards have what it takes to keep it close. The model projects Nets 116 – 113 Wizards, a margin of about 2.8 points in favor of the Nets and a total around 229 points. Expect a game at a standard NBA pace. The Nets will be without Egor Demin or Tyler Bilodeau. The Wizards will be without Justin Champagnie or Tristan Vukcevic (and 1 other). Early season: the numbers still lean heavily on last season, so confidence stays cautious.

The Wizards need to win the pace battle to stay in the game.
The Wizards' offense (113.1 pts/game) is the more productive of the two.
The Nets' defense allows clearly fewer points (117.9 pts/game).
