It hasn\u2019t been all bad in Brooklyn. The Nets have won two of their last three, and Egor Demin even found himself on the winning side at the Rising Stars Challenge (coached by Vince Carter). Not a bad weekend for the rookie.<\/p>\n
On the other sideline, Kenny Atkinson has to be feeling pretty darn good about what he\u2019s working with these days. Donovan Mitchell and James Harden clicked almost immediately, and just like that, they\u2019ve rattled off five straight wins.<\/p>\n
WHO: Brooklyn Nets (15-38) @ Cleveland Cavaliers (34-21)
WHEN: 7:00 PM ET
WATCH: YES Network \/ Gotham Sports App<\/p>\n
\u201cCleveland won the first <\/a>meeting in October. Without Claxton, the Nets will turn to Day\u2019ron Sharpe in the starting five. Sharpe has shown himself to be a more than capable big in the NBA and will start for as long as Clax is out. He\u2019ll be matched up on the inside with our old friend Jarrett Allen. Like many of the Cavs, Allen is going to need to exceed expectations in the postseason if they want to get to their first Conference Finals without LeBron James on the team since 1992. Allen and Evan Mobley are tasked with owning the boards and finishing at the rim.\u201c – Brian Fleurantin<\/a><\/p>\n Share thoughts and react, but please be respectful.
