Due to the absence of Ben Simmons from the lineup for Tuesday’s game against DeMar DeRozan, Deebo may have a better chance of having a strong performance in Brooklyn. Although he was acquired in a trade from the Philadelphia 76ers to the Brooklyn Nets last season, he did not appear in a single game for either team in 2021–2022.

The Nets are in a bind as they enter the contest, having only gone 2-5 in their first seven games. After losing to the Memphis Grizzlies, Milwaukee Bucks, Philadelphia 76ers, and Pacers, they have lost four straight games and are presently 1-2. Simmons won’t play against the Bulls because of a back issue that kept him out of the whole 2021–22 season and required microdiscectomy surgery on May 5.
