Going back to this after that 1st half: Mikal Bridges and Cam Thomas are having a rough shooting stretch over their last 10 quarters.
31/90 FG (34.4%)
11/38 from 3 (28.9%)
BKN’s depth was enough to make up for it against MIA and CHI. BOS is another story, especially without Ben – 9:23 PM

C’s close the quarter on a 12-4 run. That’s what winning teams do. Nets were playing off momentum and Boston took it back and now Brooklyn heads to the locker room deflated.
First 5 minutes of the 3rd could now put this game away. – 9:16 PM

The #Nets erased an early nine-point deficit and are tied 34-all with the #Celtics after one. They’re playing without Ben Simmons, Nic Claxton and Cam Johnson, and predictably the fast break has suffered. But they’ve gotten into the paint. – 8:39 PM

Very interesting contrast in styles here in Brooklyn, where the Celtics – without Derrick White, who is out for personal reasons – started Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford together, while Brooklyn is essentially playing Dorian Finney-Smith at center.

Another scorching start for the #Celtics (7/11 FG) and they’re defending, with 3 blocks despite the #Nets breaking into the half court at a frantic pace. Brooklyn’s producing some good shots, and they’ve just rimmed out on a few of their recent ones. 22-13 into timeout. – 8:18 PM

Ben Simmons doesn’t have any back pain, per Jacque Vaughn. This maintenance is just part of his progression at this point of the season with a back to back.
This game was circled as a maintenance check. Vaughn didn’t say if this will be a recurring pattern for B2Bs #Nets – 6:23 PM

Ben Simmons is out tonight. Jacque Vaughn terms it “injury maintenance,” saying the point guard hasn’t had any setbacks but the #Nets had this game circled on the calendar as a game to sit him. – 6:21 PM

Sixers win 112-100. Leading by 5 through 3 quarters and Durant coming in as Embiid was coming out, they pull away in the fourth and don’t even have to bring the reigning MVP back in.
They are 4-1. Their point differential is 12.2, tied for 2nd best in the NBA behind Boston. – 3:30 PM

Expect to see plenty of Trendon Watford tonight with Simmons out after he logged a DNP-CD in Chicago.
Watford can fill a similar role to Simmons as a transition ball-handler and halfcourt screener/short-roll playmaker.
He was very impressive against Miami. Just 22-years-old. – 2:20 PM
