Washington vs Brooklyn Analysis and Prediction
According to sports betting experts, it is the third time in 13 months that a prominent player asked to be traded from the Brooklyn Nets. James Harden got what he wanted with the help of a trade that sent Ben Simmons to the Philadelphia 76ers. After the Boston Celtics swept them in four games in the first round of the playoffs, Kevin Durant requested a trade. He had a heated discussion with the team’s leadership during the tumultuous summer.
Durant wanted to leave because of the team’s lack of success after his left knee injury. The Nets went on a skid of 11 straight losses when he was sidelined, losing 16 of 21 last season. With the great striker still out with a right knee injury this year, Brooklyn has struggled to a 4-7 record.
Following Wednesday’s humiliating loss in Boston (139-96) and Irving’s alleged trade request, Brooklyn made a pathetic performance at home (96-89). The Nets won four of their previous six games. However, they fell behind by as many as 49 points after the first quarter, where they were outscored 46-16.
According to basketball betting Korea sources, the Wizards lost all three meetings between November 4 and December 12 against Brooklyn. Their record slipped to 11-20 after losing two in a row amid a 10-game losing streak. Washington has gone 13-7 since then, moving them up from a tie for 12th in the East to a tie for 9th.

Even though they have more talent and should be favorites at home, the Brooklyn Nets have been hampered by injuries and have had to deal with more Kyrie foolishness after his trade request the day before.
