In their previous meeting, the Brooklyn Nets took advantage of Allen Crabbe’s 20-point outing, a D’Angelo Russell double-double, and DeMarre Carroll, Caris LeVert and Trevor Booker all scoring in double-digits to beat the Hawks. Not much has changed with Brooklyn, except for Russell’s injury.
Regardless, Spencer Dinwiddie has picked up the slack in Russell’s absence. In fact, the team as a whole has been playing well. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson is turning into a beast in the paint for Brooklyn. He’s averaging 14.3 points while nabbing 5.4 rebounds.
