Battle of the tank.
Two tanks come head to head in Canada. Brooklyn’s version and Toronto’s version. Brooklyn’s coming off a blow-out loss against the Cavs on their home floor. The team’s leading scorers aren’t here — Cam Thomas is still hurt and Dennis Schroder was traded.

Game Preview | Jordan Greene
Injury Report Bojan Bogdanovic, De’Anthony Melton, Cam Thomas, Ziaire Williams, and Trendon Watford are all out with injuries. Jaylen Martin and Dariq Whitehead will be fulfilling G-League duties. The newest Net, Reece Beekman, will be available. Beekman is on a two-way deal, replacing the injured and now waived Jacky Cui.
For the Raptors, Scottie Barnes is listed as questionable. Immanuel Quickly, Bruce Brown, and Jakob Poeltl are all out with injuries.
The Game: Coming off a five game losing streak, the Raptors are riddled with injuries. While they still have been scoring a ton of points without their two stars in Immanuel Quickly and Scottie Barnes, they have been lacking in rebounding. The Nets are dead last in the league in total rebounds per game, but maybe this is the game where they put their big boy pants on. Nic Claxton and Day’Ron Sharpe can have big games because of this, as they both put up solid performances against the Cavs.
