The Brooklyn Nets star has had a stellar get-going to kick-start his 2022/2023. ‘Uncle Drew’ is averaging a phenomenal 30.5 points at an efficient. 47% rate, along with 4.8 and 4.7 rebounds and assists respectively.
In spite of this, the Brooklyn Nets have had an abysmal go-ahead to their campaign. The franchise has amassed five losses, whilst picking up just a single victory at the same time.

It could be redemption for Irving, who must be gearing up for this fixture. With the Nets once again welcoming the Pacers to defend their home turf, Irving is expected to lace up his kicks to resume his stellar scoring campaign.
Ben Simmons and Kevin Durant are also expected to start for the Brooklyn Nets tonight. Royce O’Neal and Nic Claxton are back in their respective roles as well.
Seth Curry, however, has been listed as questionable for the fixture. However, Curry hasn’t been utilized by Steve Nash a lot for reasons unknown. He made his return to the team against the Pacers on Saturday night in a losing effort.
Nets list Seth Curry as questionable for tomorrow’s game against Chicago. Looks like a management thing.
