The Brooklyn Nets (1-11) are trying to do what they can to prevent the 2025-26 NBA season from slipping away from them so soon, but it’s possible that time is running out for them very soon. Brooklyn is currently on a four-game losing streak, but they can end that with a matchup on Sunday at the Washington Wizards (1-11) and if you’re wondering how you can watch all the action live, you’ve come to the right place!
The Nets enter this matchup following a 105-98 NBA Cup loss at the Orlando Magic on Friday in which Brooklyn remained in the game for the first three quarters before ending the game poorly. Forward Michael Porter Jr. dropped 24 points, 11 rebounds, and seven assists while forward Ziaire Williams put up 15 points and three steals of his own off the bench.
The Wizards come into this game after a 135-112 loss at the Houston Rockets on Wednesday in which Houston used a dominate first half to set up their blowout win long before the final buzzer went off. Center Alex Sarr led the way for Washington as he compiled 25 points, 11 rebounds, and four assists while forward Kyshawn George had 16 points, seven rebounds, and nine assists.
