The Brooklyn Nets (13-37) are still in the midst of their rough patch that has been occurring since January and even after the trade deadline, it seems that the Nets are still looking for answers to their woes. Brooklyn acquired two players prior to Thursday's deadline and with the Washington Wizards (14-36) coming to town, the Nets have a chance to end their three-game losing streak. If you're wondering how you can watch all the action live, you've come to the right place!

The Nets come into this game after a 118-98 loss at the Orlando Magic on Thursday in which they trailed by as many as 26 points in the contest due to how Orlando was able to establish their presence in the paint. Rookie guard Egor Demin led Brooklyn in scoring with 26 points and four rebounds while fellow rookie guard Nolan Traore had 21 points and seven assists of his own.

The Wizards enter this matchup following a 126-117 win at the Detroit Pistons on Thursday in which Washington shocked the NBA world with how they were able to take care of business against the Pistons. Rookie forward Will Riley had 20 points and six rebounds off the bench while guard Sharife Cooper had 18 points and five assists, also off the bench.

Here is what you need to know to get ready for this matchup:
