The Nets are gradually trying to return to the playoff zone. The team shows inconsistent results, but tries to use the mistakes of its closest rivals. In the last match, Brooklyn achieved a sensational victory over Milwaukee (111:105).
Cameron Johnson led the way with 29 points. However, victories are hard to come by, which speaks to the need for improvements in both defense and attack. In the upcoming home game against San Antonio, the Nets will have a chance to close the gap on Chicago in the standings, if, of course, the hosts win.

Both teams are inconsistent. Brooklyn is trying to find its game and shows flashes of good form, but overall it is not very confident. Home court will give the Nets a slight advantage.
