The Nets next game, barring any change, will be Christmas Day. As we’ve noted elsewhere, things are up in the air even though the Nets are not. They won’t be flying to Portland Wednesday but will instead head to L.A. for games with the Lakers and Clippers.
Whenever they play, they will be looking to players who just last week were bench warming or in street clothes. The two most prominent of that batch are David Duke Jr. and Blake Griffin who are at opposite ends of their NBA careers but have been crucial to winning games despite everything.
