NBA games on Sunday are going to start early as Brooklyn Nets will host Portland Trail Blazers. After 10 games played, the Nets are in the 10th position in the Eastern Conference with 9 wins and 11 losses. The Trail Blazers have played 19 games, they have 11 wins and 8 losses which gives them the 5th position in the Western Conference. In this game, I'm taking Brooklyn with the handicap.

Kyrie Irving returned to action last week and the team has a record of 2-2 since then. Brooklyn was able to beat Memphis at home and Toronto on the road, but they lost to Philadelphia and Indiana away from home. If we are speaking about games at home, Brooklyn is a subpar team with 4 wins and 4 losses but they have won 3 out of the last 4 games in Brooklyn.

Although Portland is one of the best teams in the Western Conference, their recent performance doesn't show that. Their leader Damian Lillard has missed the last 3 games and Portland has lost 2 of them but overall, the team has only 1 win in the last 5 games. A few days ago, the Blazers beat the Knicks on the road in overtime. That victory was impressive but there are 2 things that won't repeat tonight - Jerami Grant scoring 44 points and Anfernee Simmons scoring 38. Simmons could have a great game on offense but Grant can't stick that performance especially because he had 28 free throws. This was Portland's first win on the road in the last 4 games.

Let's look at the advanced stats for the last 5 games. The Nets have the 9th-best offense (113.7) and the 19th-best defense (112.4) with the 12th-best net rating (1.4). The Trail Blazers during this stretch have only the 18th-best offense (111.1) and the 26th-best defense (117.1) which gives them only the 26th-best net rating (-6.0). Brooklyn has the 8th-best adjusted offensive rating and the stats show Portland lacks power on defense. With Irving and Durant on the roster, it is going to be a very tough task for Portland.

周日的NBA比赛将提前开始，布鲁克林篮网将主场迎战波特兰开拓者。经过10场比赛，篮网以9胜11负排名东部第10。开拓者已经打了19场比赛，11胜8负，排名西部第五。这场比赛，我要带障碍的布鲁克林。

凯里·欧文上周复出，自那以后球队取得了2胜2负的战绩。布鲁克林在主场击败了灰熊，在客场击败了多伦多猛龙，但他们在客场输给了费城和步行者。如果我们说的是主场比赛，布鲁克林是一支4胜4负的劣等球队，但他们在过去的4场比赛中赢了3场。

虽然波特兰是西部最好的球队之一，但他们最近的表现并不能说明这一点。他们的领袖达米安·利拉德缺席了最近的3场比赛，开拓者输掉了其中的2场，但总的来说，球队在过去的5场比赛中只赢了1场。几天前，开拓者在客场加时赛中击败了尼克斯。那场胜利令人印象深刻，但今晚有两件事不会重演——杰拉米·格兰特砍下44分，安费尼·西蒙斯砍下38分。西蒙斯可以在进攻端打出出色的表现，但格兰特无法保持这种表现，尤其是因为他有28次罚球。这是开拓者在过去4场比赛中的第一场客场胜利。

让我们看看最近5场比赛的高级数据。篮网的进攻排名第9(113.7)，防守排名第19(112.4)，净得分排名第12(1.4)。在这段时间里，开拓者的进攻(111.1分)和防守(117.1分)分别排在第18位和第26位，这使得他们的净得分(-6.0分)仅排在第26位。布鲁克林的调整后进攻效率排名第八，而数据显示开拓者在防守上缺乏力量。欧文和杜兰特都在球队名单上，这对开拓者来说将是一项非常艰巨的任务。
