The Brooklyn Nets play host to the New York Knicks, at Barclays Center on Friday evening.

The Nets (0-1) are coming off a heartbreaking overtime loss in their home opener on Wednesday evening, where despite a record-breaking performance by Kyrie Irving, the Nets fell short by one point. Irving finished the contest with 50 points, which is a new NBA record for most points by a player in their debut with a team. Irving not only scored the ball, but grabbed eight rebounds, seven assists and committed no turnovers. Caris LeVert tallied 20 points, while Taurean Prince finished with 15 points and 11 rebounds in the contest. The Nets can take other positives from their first contest, including their 20 fast break points. They also tallied nine blocks and held their opponent to 43 percent shooting from the field. On the other hand, the Nets need to take a little bit better care of the ball, as they gave up 16 turnovers and 12 offensive rebounds.

Meanwhile, the Knicks (0-1) also fell short in their first contest, as they kicked off their season in San Antonio with a matchup against the Spurs. The Knicks made it a battle as they led 84-83 heading into the fourth quarter and despite the fact that they could not hold on, made the Spurs battle until the last whistle. R.J. Barrett looked great in his NBA debut, finishing with 21 points on 9-of-13 shooting, in 37 minutes of action. Julius Randle led the Knicks with 25 points, 11 rebounds and six assists, while Marcus Morris added 26 points and four rebounds. The new-look Knicks are deep and showed they have many weapons, as five players scored in double digits, in addition to great hustle performances from the other seven guys to get on the floor. Mitchell Robinson (ankle) missed the last contest but is expected to be ready for action on Friday.
