Brooklyn Nets Face Charlotte Hornets in NBA Cup Clash: Grant Williams to Start
In tonight’s NBA Cup matchup, the Brooklyn Nets will clash with the Charlotte Hornets, with the starting lineup for the Hornets remaining unchanged. Head coach Charles Lee has decided to place Grant Williams at the center position, replacing Moussa Diabaté.
Despite Diabaté’s strong performances in rebounding and defense, Coach Lee appears to prefer using him off the bench in this instance. Grant Williams, during Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, delivered an impressive performance, scoring 15 points, grabbing nine rebounds, contributing three assists, and making a steal. The coach’s decision to start Williams is also influenced by the absence of the Nets’ key big men, Nic Claxton and Day’Ron Sharpe.
The starting lineup for the Hornets includes LaMelo Ball, Josh Green, Brandon Miller, Miles Bridges, and Grant Williams. This setup will be put to the test against the Nets, who are deploying Dennis Schroder, Cam Thomas, Cameron Johnson, Dorian Finney-Smith, and Ben Simmons.
The game between the Hornets and the Nets is scheduled to commence at 7:30 p.m. EST. Fans can stream the live action via the FanDuel Sports Network Southeast.
The match is eagerly anticipated, with both teams looking to secure a win in this crucial NBA Cup fixture.
