Nets Performance Recap and Analysis
NBA stats show Brooklyn will only play in three preseason games. This means the Nets may be likely to play more of their top players in the lineup. Brooklyn will send a lineup featuring Mikal Bridges, Ben Simmons, and Nic Claxton.
The Nets are still in the shadow of rebuilding from their big three team of James Harden, Kevin Durant, and Kyrie Irving, which flopped. The Nets hope that the core of the trade that they received in return for Durant last season will help keep them in contention for the playoffs in the Eastern Conference.
