LIVE DISCUSSION: Brooklyn Nets at Washington Wizards, 7:00 p.m. ET
We called this matchup a tankfest a couple weeks back. Now? The Brooklyn Nets are less than a game out from the final play-in spot, winners in four of its last five, and 7-3 in the last 10 games. The Wizards remain awful with a league-worst 9-47 record, but they beat the Nets by 17 on Feb. 5.
There’s really no telling where the Nets are headed — straight for the lottery or right back in the middle of the pack. More teams like the 76ers and Spurs are seemingly tanking, whether it be intentional or not. Fact of the matter is that the Nets are not a good team on paper but they’re too good to be a bottom-five team in the NBA. That’s in large part due to head coach Jordi Fernandez, too.
