The Nets are playing small right now with Nicolas Claxton (back) out. He missed both of their last two games, which came against the Knicks. The Knicks hauled in at least 45 rebounds in both games. The Hornets have also been forced to play small because of injuries at center, which has resulted in Grant Williams recording at least seven rebounds in four of his last six games. In the two games that he failed to reach that threshold, he had four rebounds in each of them. With plenty of minutes coming his way, Williams has a favorable opportunity to reach this over.
