The Nets would’ve won a third straight… if there were only three quarters. They fell to the Utah Jazz in the second night of a back-to-back. Now, they’re up against the struggling Pelicans — who don’t have their own pick this year. So, don’t be fooled. It isn’t supposed to be a tankfest.

WHO: New Orleans Pelicans (3-17) at Brooklyn Nets (5-17)

No Cam Thomas or Haywood Highsmith. Noah Clowney is probable with back soreness. Michael Porter Jr is back after missing Thursday’s game. Nolan Traore, who scored 30 points on 10-of-13 shooting for Long Island Friday night, remains with the Nets affiliate who play the 76ers affiliate at 6:00 p.m. ET on the G League’s official website. No word on the availability of the Nets two two-ways, Tyson Etienne and E.J. Liddell. They also played for Long Island.

No Herb Jones, Jordan Poole, Dejounte Murray, or Zion Williamson. Vyes Missi is questionable.
