Pre-match view
Washington's stronger preseason results give it the marginally better-supported side across the full-game and period markets, but Brooklyn's larger winning margins and unresolved rotations on both teams keep this a low-confidence read.
Washington's projected starting group, with Alex Sarr back from a foot injury and Khris Middleton and Tre Mann only day to day, faces a Brooklyn side still settling its camp roster after waiving two players, so both rotations remain fluid for this preseason meeting.
NBA rules: full-game winner, handicap and totals include overtime. The 48-minute result, halves and quarters exclude it.
