The Nets are back in Brooklyn and they’ll get a bit of a gimme as the Houston Rockets roll into town.
Houston is thriving at the bottom of the Western Conference standings while riding a 6-game losing streak.
The Nets, meanwhile, are sitting a half game ahead of the Miami Heat in 6th place and at the moment they are out of the play-in round.
If the Nets were to lose to the Rockets on Wednesday that would probably result in it being the absolute worst loss of the season. There are no “true” gimmes in the NBA but man the Nets really need this win and it would be such a buzzkill if they didn’t get it.
