Tankfest in Brooklyn.
We’ve officially hit that part of the season where there’s 10 games left and very little left to root for. Even the anti-tankers, at this rate, might be willing to admit that it’s just best to lose to secure better lottery odds… especially versus the Raptors. Maybe I’m wrong. But that’s just the type of year it’s been.
NETS VS. RAPTORS
Time: 7:30 p.m. ET
Opponent: Toronto Raptors (25-47)
Tune In: YES Network (Gotham Sports App); WFAN radio
Game Preview | Jordan Greene
Injury Report: Brooklyn will be short handed tonight as Cam Johnson (rest) and Day’Ron Sharpe (right knee sprain) will be sitting out. Cam Thomas and De’Anthony Melton are of course out as well. The two ways in Reece Beekman, Tyson Etienne, and Tovan Evbuomwan will be, ironically enough, in suburban Toronto playing the Raptors905 in a do-or-die contest starting at 11:00 a.m. ET. For the Raptors, Immanuel Quickly (rest), Brandon Ingram (ankle), Gradey Dick (knee), Cris Boucher (illness), Jacob Poeltl (rest), and Ulrich Chomche (MCL tear) will all be out. Like we said, tankathon is on.
The Game: The Nets and Raptors are two games separated from each other in the quest to improve their draft lottery odds. If the Nets can out-tank Toronto not only tonight, but again in two weeks when the division rivals meet one final time, then the future can look like a bright one. The Nets are done playing the 76ers this season.
