Peacock NBA Monday continues with the Nets seeking their first victory of the season against the visiting Timberwolves, who are playing without injured Anthony Edwards.

Ziaire Williams, who suffered a back fracture and a contusion on a hard fall in last Sunday’s loss to the Spurs in San Antonio and hopes to be available Sunday against the 76ers in Brooklyn, is “pretty close” to returning, Fernández said after Friday’s practice in Brooklyn.

Watford, who signed with the Sixers as a free agent this summer but has been hampered by a hamstring injury, had 16 points with nine rebounds, and seven assists on Sunday.

Jordi Fernandez's decision to bench Nets rookie Ben Saraf and limit Egor Demin's minutes on Sunday didn't have its desired result.

So it makes sense that Brooklyn ranks dead last in the latest NBA power rankings from Bleacher Report's Andy Bailey. The Nets are 30th, with their 'Halloween Scare' being defense. They also rank dead last in defensive rating at 129.1.

No matter who’s on the floor, the energy and edge that defined Brooklyn last season are still missing. At this point, it’s hard to tell where the problems even start.

Cam Thomas' 40-point performance vs. the Spurs placed him alongside several Nets legends on an exclusive list.

The Brooklyn Nets are one of just two winless teams in the NBA, which shouldn’t come as much of a surprise given the team’s roster heading into the season. The whole world could see that Brooklyn was tanking this season by fielding a mostly young and inexperienced roster featuring several of their five first-round draft picks from this past summer.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, there are still two winless teams remaining, one in each conference: the New Orleans Pelicans and Brooklyn Nets. At 0-6, both teams have a long way to go before they get into historic territory -- the 2010 Nets and 2016 76ers share the record for worst starts ever at 0-18 -- but their campaigns are effectively already over.
