The Brooklyn Nets are on primetime television, being broadcast nationally in their much-anticipated matchup with James Harden, Russell Westbrook, and the Houston Rockets.

After Kyrie Irving was crossed up by Harden, Nets wing Caris LeVert provided his own highlight with a nice-looking no-look pass to center Jarrett Allen in the fast break for the slam.

Allen, 21, is starting for the Nets for the third time this season through five games, a divided count with veteran big man and one-time All-Star DeAndre Jordan. The third-year center is a rising star in Brooklyn's organization and fans believe he deserves to start instead of the vet friends with the duo of elite players who decided to come to the Nets in the offseason, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.

Meanwhile LeVert could be the glue in the Nets' lineup due to his versatility and speed, stretching the floor and enhancing transition bucket opportunities for Irving, when he's not being crossed up after years and years of doing the same to opponents.
