There are five NBA preseason games scheduled for Tuesday, including the Brooklyn Nets vs LA Clippers at Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, California. The Nets are making their preseason debut while the Clippers lost their first one 91-90 against the Golden State Warriors on Saturday.
Brooklyn decided to enter a rebuild this offseason, trading Mikal Bridges to the New York Knicks. The Nets re-signed Nicolas Claxton to a new contract while Ben Simmons and Cameron Johnson remained with the team. They also acquired young swingman Ziaire Williams, who could be a good piece to start their new era.
On the other hand, the Clippers lost Paul George in free agency but reloaded their roster with role players such as Mo Bamba, Nicolas Batum, Derrick Jones Jr., Kevin Porter Jr. and Kris Dunn. They also signed James Harden and Kawhi Leonard to new contracts.

Since it's a preseason game, coach Jordi Fernandez and coach Tyronn Lue are not expected to give full minutes to their starters. They are likely giving a lot of minutes to potential rotation players, as well as those who are trying to make the roster.
Brooklyn will officially start the 2024-25 NBA season on Oct. 23 against the Atlanta Hawks at State Farm Arena. The Clippers, on the other hand, will open their campaign at the newly-opened Intuit Dome and welcome the Phoenix Suns on Oct. 23.
