Luke Kennard adds about the sore hip: “It’s definitely something that lingers. I’m not 100%, but it’s not gonna hold me back or keep me out … but not excuses. I’m still able to cut hard and get my shots off and do what I need to do.” – 1:43 AM

Bembry has earned a tech after that last dunk to give Brooklhn a 60-48 lead. Nets have scored only 3 second-chance points, but that’s because they’re drilling their first chances — 57% overall, 42% from deep, 4-5 on fast-breaks. – 11:30 PM

The Nets allow the 2nd-lowest FG% in the league overall, 5th-lowest in midrange, and the lowest percentage from 3 and non-restricted paint.
But only two teams allow more fast break points per game.

It was a while ago, but when the Celtics were down Kyrie Irving, Marcus Smart and Terry Rozier a few years ago, they ran the offense heavily through Al Horford. Wouldn’t be surprised to see that happen again tonight with Payton Pritchard being the only available PG tonight. – 6:51 PM

Given how deep Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving are in their quarantine stays I’m not sure the new CDC guidelines greatly alter their timelines back. To me the Nets’ rookies who went into protocols last could return earlier if anyone. – 5:03 PM
