Muller is also in excellent condition recently for having handed over four assists and scored one goal in the last two rounds of the league. However, the main guard Süle has made it clear that he will not renew his contract with the team, and the performance of the defense line of the team may fluctuate. A number of players in the array left the team to participate in the national team competition, and their physical reserves will suffer a lot.

NBA -- Brooklyn Nets vs Cleveland Cavaliers

Although the Brooklyn nets have lost Irving's stable scoring point this season, they have gradually got rid of this dependence recently. They have won as many as 8 games in recent 9 games, and their state is getting better and better. At present, the team have climbed to the third position in the East. If they win this game, the team will probably rise to the first place in the east. However, Harden's recent state is changeful for only handing over 16 points.

 

 

 

 

The Cleveland Cavaliers' recent performance is commendable. Although they lost to the Celtics at home in the last round, they still won 6 of the last 8 games. The overall state is very good. At present, the team have climbed to the fifth position in the East, and the prospect of qualifying the playoffs is good. However, the Cavaliers pay too much attention to defense in their recent play. Although they can limit their opponents' scores to less than 100 in the past four games, their scores also failed to break through the triple digits.

 

The Nets have won four times in the past six meetings with Cavaliers, and they have a certain advantage as a whole. Moreover, they gradually get rid of the influence of Irving's absence, while the comeback of Aldridge and Griffin gradually make more and more contributions to the team. It should be no problem for the Nets to win this game.
