What does this mean for the game?

The Nets will be without two of their best players in Irving and Simmons, so they will need other players to step up in their absence. Kevin Durant will need to have a big game, and Seth Curry and Joe Harris will need to provide some scoring from the outside. The Hornets will also be without their best player in Ball, so they will need other players to step up in his absence. Terry Rozier will need to have a big game, and Gordon Hayward and Kelly Oubre Jr. will need to provide some scoring from the outside. The game is expected to be close, and it could go either way. The Nets have the more talented team, but the Hornets have been playing well at home this season.
