The surging Brooklyn Nets look for their first win at Barclays Center over a Western Conference opponent this season when they host the road-weary Los Angeles Lakers for a 7:30 p.m. Tuesday tip.
The Nets have won their last five games, including three in a row at home, after starting the season with 10 losses in their first 13 games at Barclays Center. Brooklyn (13-18) is 0-7 at home against opponents from the West.
The Nets have lost five of their last six to the Lakers (18-12), who are on course for their first playoff berth since 2013 after adding LeBron James and a host of other veteran free agents in the offseason.
