Nets at Cavaliers: Lineups, injury reports and broadcast info for Monday

The short-handed Brooklyn Nets have some business to take care of despite their incomplete roster. Fortunately, James Harden is playing with so much confidence at the moment and it’s coming at the right time too. Kevin Durant, his co-star, is out for at least a month, but this is not stopping Brooklyn from finding their winning ways.

The effort must be there defensively first of all. As for the offense, it will feel new, but Harden is built for this.

He can orchestrate through any defense and he is even able to carve out larger roles for rookies, similar to Durant. If the team just sticks to the game plan, they’ll be just fine.
