The Brooklyn Nets will kick off the regular season on Tuesday, December 22 when they host the Golden State Warriors. The Nets will be looking to get an early win out of this match, and it is very likely they will do just that. The Nets have a significantly better team. 

They finished 7th in the NBA Eastern Conference last season with a 35-37 record. This was enough to get them into the playoff bubble, but they did not last long. They lost their opening round series 4-0 to the 2019 champions, the Toronto Raptors. 

Since their playoff stint, the Nets have made few changes to their roster. They are currently missing power forward Nicolas Claxton due to a shoulder injury. Claxton is in his second season with the Nets since being drafted into the NBA in 2019. 

The Warriors had a rough go last season. They finished last in the Western Conference with a 15-50 record. The Warriors made five trades ahead of this season, though much of their former roster is now gone, so they may be in for another bottom of the standings finish this season. The bright side is they will be in a good position to receive a first round draft pick for the 2021-2022 draft.
