The Nets shot 51.4% from the field, including knocking down 21 3-pointers while converting on 46.7% of their triples on Monday.

What to know about the Knicks
The Knicks also played on Monday, but they had a much different result with a 113-92 victory over the Charlotte Hornets. New York has won seven straight games and has one of the best records in the NBA since acquiring OG Anunoby from the Raptors. The Knicks are 13-2 since Anunoby's team debut on Jan. 1, and the 26-year-old forward is averaging 15.6 ppg on 51.6% shooting in New York. He stands at 6-foot-7 with a 7-foot-2 wingspan as one of the top defenders in the NBA, but he's a game-time decision (elbow) after sitting out on Monday.
This will be New York's second game without Julius Randle, who suffered a dislocated right shoulder on Saturday that will cost him at least a few weeks. Donte DiVincenzo had a huge performance with Randle out on Monday, finishing with 28 points, six rebounds and five assists. Jalen Brunson continued to prove why he should be discussed with the top guards in the NBA after posting 32 points and seven assists on Monday, raising his season averages to 26.7 points and 6.5 assists. New York is 19-9 ATS over its last 28 games as the favorites. See which team to pick here.
