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.
