Things in the eastern conference are starting to get a little murky. Not long ago, the Brooklyn Nets were firmly in sixth-place and were practically a playoff lock. Since then, things have changed.
Brooklyn’s biggest rivals at the bottom of the Eastern Conference have found their footing. Detroit is currently 7-3 in their last ten games and has looked outstanding with a reinvigorated Andre Drummond in their lineup. Orlando has also won 7 of its last 10 games, and just recently took down the defending champs, the Golden State Warriors Not to mention, the Magic have the fourth-easiest schedule according to Tankathon.
