The Brooklyn Nets haven’t quite become the team the NBA world envisioned over the last few years as many of the franchise’s best-laid plans have gone up in smoke. The Nets’ star forward Ben Simmons has been living off of past glory for many years now in the eyes of NBA fans and analysts. Former […]

The Brooklyn Nets are battling the injury bug as they close out a disappointing 2023-24 campaign. Already down Cam Johnson (left big toe sprain) and Dennis Smith Jr. (right hip synovitis) for Monday’s matchup with the Toronto Raptors, the team ruled out Cam Thomas due to lower back tightness before pulling out a 96-88 win. […]

The Brooklyn Nets bet on upside when they selected Noah Clowney with the 21st pick in this year’s draft. The 6-foot-10 prospect out of Alabama flashed his versatile skill set for the Crimson Tide during his lone college season. With the Nets play-in hopes all but dead, Clowney has received expanded minutes in the last […]

The New York Knicks have been rebranded as the Nova Knicks this season. The new-look squad has emerged as an Eastern Conference contender, led by star point guard Jalen Brunson and supporting wings Josh Hart and Donte DiVincenzo. However, a lone Wildcat has not enjoyed the same team success across the river in Mikal Bridges. […]

Very rarely is an NBA team presented with a get-out-of-jail-free card. The Houston Rockets may have offered the Brooklyn Nets just that at the trade deadline. Nets general Manager Sean Marks went all-in in 2021, sending all of Brooklyn’s draft capital to Houston to pair James Harden with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. All three […]

The Brooklyn Nets will be shorthanded for their road matchup with the Toronto Raptors on Monday. Cam Johnson (left big toe sprain) and Dennis Smith Jr. (right shin stress reaction) have both been ruled out, the team announced Sunday. Johnson injured his toe during Saturday’s 105-93 loss to the New York Knicks. After signing a […]

It’s been a rough season for Mikal Bridges and the Brooklyn Nets. Since upending the organization by dealing Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving at last year’s deadline, the Nets have dismissed the idea of trading Bridges and pivoting to a rebuild. With a stockpile of draft picks, they hoped to recreate the magic of the […]

For three quarters vs. the New York Knicks on Saturday, the Brooklyn Nets showed what many thought they could be this season. Then the fourth came, and they showed what they are: A flawed basketball team. Mikal Bridges did his best to carry the load for the Nets during a 105-93 loss at Madison Square […]

We’re set to bring you a betting prediction and pick for the day’s NBA slate as we head over to the Big Apple for this cross-town rivalry in the Eastern Conference. The Brooklyn Nets (26-44) will take on the New York Knicks (41-28) as both teams try to bounce back after a loss. Check out our NBA odds series […]

You’d be hard-pressed to find an NBA team with a more confusing direction than the Brooklyn Nets. After trading Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving last season, the team has held on to its high-priced veterans through the offseason and the 2024 deadline. Armed with seven tradable first-round picks and potentially over $40 million in cap […]

The Brooklyn Nets had clear expectations entering the 2023-24 season: a scrappy team that would compete nightly but struggle to close games against star-studded rosters. While they’ve failed to live up to that billing, posting the NBA’s sixth-worst record (13-33) over the last three months, they kept to the original script during Thursday’s 115-108 loss […]

The Brooklyn Nets are on the road to take on the Milwaukee Bucks Thursday night. Below we will continue our NBA odds series with a Nets-Bucks prediction and pick. We will also let you know how to watch the game. The Nets are not having a good season, and they have lost their last four […]

The struggling Brooklyn Nets will be shorthanded for Thursday’s road matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. Dorian Finney-Smith has been ruled out due to left ankle soreness, the team announced Wednesday. Finney-Smith was listed on the status report for Brooklyn’s last two games due to his ankle. The 30-year-old missed six games in early February after […]

The flashes were always there for Cam Thomas during his first two NBA seasons. Whether he was leading a 28-point comeback on national television at Madison Square Garden his rookie year or becoming the youngest player in NBA history with three consecutive 40-point games last season, it was clear the Brooklyn Nets guard had untapped […]

Mikal Bridges has built upon his reputation as the NBA’s undisputed “Iron Man” this season. The Brooklyn Nets forward reached another milestone on Tuesday, playing in his 500th consecutive game, including the regular season and playoffs. Bridges’ mark is the longest active streak in the NBA and the 13th longest of all time. He sits […]

The New York Jets are far from a contender on paper as the NFL’s offseason continues to progress, but they are a team to watch as Aaron Rodgers prepares to make his long-awaited return. The Jets signed a former Chargers product who could help the passing game immediately in Mike Williams, and now the Williams […]

There has been little reason for excitement surrounding the Brooklyn Nets of late. There would be virtually none if not for Cam Thomas. After returning from an ankle injury, the third-year guard has been the Nets’ lone bright spot during a 1-4 stretch over their last five games. Thomas has scored 20-plus points in each […]

It seemed nearly impossible for Victory Wembanyama to live up to expectations entering his rookie season. Not only did the San Antonio Spurs No. 1 pick show Sunday why he was the most hyped prospect since LeBron James, but he proved that he can live up to it. Wembanyama put on a dazzling display of […]

The New Orleans Pelicans are on the road to take on the Brooklyn Nets Tuesday night. Below we will continue our NBA odds series with a Pelicans-Nets prediction and pick. We will also let you know how to watch the game. The Pelicans are 41-26 this season, and they have won four of their last […]

Is Ben Simmons’ NBA career over? It’s a legitimate question to ask after the Brooklyn Nets shut him down for the second straight season due to a back injury. Following the 2023-24 campaign, the former No. 1 pick will have appeared in 57 of 254 possible games over the last three seasons. When on the […]

Victor Wembanyama being a rare breed is an understatement. Gregg Popovich’s mentee in the San Antonio Spurs system entered the league as a contender for the Defensive Player of the Year award while also racking up big numbers on offense. He once again unleashed the alien inside against the Brooklyn Nets. His outing even notched […]

There was no shortage of Brooklyn Nets blunders during their 122-115 overtime loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday. However, none was more puzzling than interim head coach Kevin Ollie’s handling of their final possession. Trailing 118-115 with 20 seconds remaining in overtime, Ollie called timeout to draw up a play. Five players emerged […]

Kevin Ollie revealed the Brooklyn Nets’ recipe for success upon taking over as interim head coach. “I’ll tell you the recipe: It’s low turnovers,” he said. “When we do that, and we have high assists and no dead possessions, we win games.” The Nets have failed to follow that gameplan in 13 appearances since the […]

Every NBA season, fringe playoff teams reach a point where they must decide between digging deep or packing it in. For the Brooklyn Nets, it came at the All-Star break, with general manager Sean Marks firing Jacque Vaughn and promoting Kevin Ollie to interim head coach. Marks – who spoke of making Brooklyn a “destination” […]

D’Angelo Russell has emerged as the Los Angeles Lakers’ most trusted floor general this season. However, that wasn’t the case last season, with head coach Darvin Ham benching him in the Western Conference Finals in favor of veteran point guard Dennis Schroder, now with the Brooklyn Nets. Ham had a prior relationship with Schroder, having […]

From Oak Hill Academy to LSU to the Brooklyn Nets, Cam Thomas has never taken the floor wearing any number besides 24. The prolific scoring guard wears it in honor of Kobe Bryant, his favorite player growing up. After spending most of his first two NBA seasons on the bench, Thomas has broken out with […]

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons underwent successful surgery to alleviate a nerve impingement in his lower back, the team announced Thursday. “Ben Simmons underwent a successful microscopic partial discectomy earlier today to alleviate the nerve impingement in his lower back,” the Nets said in a statement. “The procedure was performed by Dr. Timur Urakov, in […]

The Orlando Magic achieved a crucial 114-106 win against the Brooklyn Nets, bouncing back strongly from a recent setback, a 111-97 defeat at the hands of the Indiana Pacers. This victory was especially significant, drawing on the collective strength and skill of key players Wendell Carter Jr., Franz Wagner, Jalen Suggs, and,notably, the team’s first-time […]

Brooklyn Nets forward Ben Simmons has had another forgettable season, playing in 15 games before being shut down for the year with back issues. This marks the second straight season that Simmons has missed significant time for the Nets with his back issue and has sparked betting odds on the question of his retirement. That’s […]

The Brooklyn Nets travel to the Sunshine State to take on the Orlando Magic Wednesday night. Below we will continue our NBA odds series as we hand out a Nets-Magic prediction and pick. We will also let you know how to watch the game. The Nets are 13 games below .500, but they are coming […]

The Brooklyn Nets are nearing full strength as they attempt to make a play-in push with 17 games left in the season. After missing three games due to a right ankle sprain, Cam Johnson is expected to play Wednesday vs. the Orlando Magic. Johnson injured his ankle in the opening minutes of a March 5 […]

Cam Thomas has made the most of his first real NBA opportunity this season. After spending two years on the bench, he’s become a focal point of the Brooklyn Nets’ offense, averaging a team-high 21.3 points per game on 44/37/83 shooting splits. Thomas’ scoring average has jumped 10.7 points from last season- the highest of […]

With their season slipping away, the Brooklyn Nets desperately needed a shot in the arm against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday. They got one in the form of Cam Thomas. The Nets ran the Cavaliers off the floor during a 120-101 victory before a sellout crowd at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. In his second game back […]

While the Cleveland Cavaliers are one of the NBA’s better defensive teams, they aren’t flawless. Cleveland’s Achille’s heel is how they defend opponents on the perimeter, allowing 36.0% of opposing attempts to connect. While that percentage allowed is still top-10 worthy compared to all 30 teams, it could spell disaster if the Cavs caught a […]

The Brooklyn Nets may have received the dagger to their play-in hopes. After losing to the nine-win Detroit Pistons on Thursday, Brooklyn fell 110-99 to the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday. Entering the game, Charlotte owned the league’s fourth-worst record (15-48) and longest losing streak (six games). The demoralizing defeat comes shortly after the Nets announced […]

Kevin Ollie spoke firmly about the hustle he would demand from the Brooklyn Nets upon taking over as interim head coach. However, spirited efforts have been a rarity during his 10 games at the helm. The Nets failed to buck that trend during Saturday’s 110-99 loss to a 15-win Charlotte Hornets team on a league-worst […]

No NBA player has played more minutes than Mikal Bridges over the last five seasons. The Brooklyn Nets forward – owner of the league’s longest active games played streak – has not missed an appearance since high school. But based on his recent production or lack thereof, he may finally need to accept a break. […]
