INJURY REPORT:

Harris - QUESTIONABLE (illness)
Okafor - NOT WITH TEAM
Stauskas - NOT WITH TEAM

The Nets sit just 3.5 games back from the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. If they beat the 10th-placed Heat, they would leapfrog them in the standings. Still, Miami could take advantage of Whiteside’s absence to open up spacing on the court. The team’s potential lineup of Goran Dragic, Dion Waiters, James Johnson, Josh Richardson and Kelly Olynyk all have range and could match the Nets’ high-paced offense. Perimeter defending will be key in this game.

LeVert’s strong performances lately is nothing short of incredible, especially considering that he’s playing out of position at point guard due to the various injuries to the team’s roster. He will likely line up against Dragic and Tyler Johnson on Saturday, neither of whom are strong defenders. The good times could keep rolling.

If Harris don't play maybe we can see Ouattara? That guy is really interesting, but don't play with LI Nets because got injured. He's with the team in Mexico.

Have to say, Tyler Johnson is looking pretty damn good for the Heat.

[DarkXaero]

Tyler Johnson keeping the Heat in this quarter.

[kamaze]

LeVert and Allen run the pick n roll for a dunk.!

[brook]

Harris isn't available so we have a 8 guys rotation and we forced to play some minutes RHJ at SF

Yea back to back one for Dinwiddie one for Levert. Good contests didn't do anything lol

[313 Professor]

Making a trade before you go to Mexico, leaving your team with a shortened rotation in the altitude wasn't a good idea

Had to be a way to delay the trade... 5 days

What's up with Joe?

[DarkXaero]

Acy is such a negative on the court when he's not hitting his shots. And that has been the case most of this season because his efficiency has been dreadful.

yeah...not feeling good when Acy holds the ball. But watch him nail some clutch threes to shut us up lol

agree. he's only useful if stretch the floor, but the deep shot isn't there in the last few games.

[MrDollarBills]

Kenny has Jarrett Allen in at PF with Mozgov at Center

so we already know what the deal is when we get Okafor up to speed.

and now Allen is about to get into a brawl with Bam Adebayo lol
