The tank was halted after a solid victory over Luka Doncic and the Lakers on Tuesday. On Wednesday, they’re up against Cleveland where Kenny Atkinson’s team sits at 54-10, good enough for the first seed in the Eastern Conference. Expect some guys to sit out given that it’s the second night of a back-to-back.

Injury Report: D’Angelo Russell is out. D’Lo had a tough game last night after returning from ankle woes. Other than that it’s DeAnthony Melton (torn ACL and out for the season) and the G Leaguers who played this afternoon in New York. The Nets lead the NBA in games lost to injuries/illness with 318.
All clear for Cleveland.
The Game: The Cavs have not lost a game since February 4 (yes, you heard that right.) Early in the winning streak, the Cavs faced off with the Nets and Cleveland looked like they were toying with them. Donovan Mitchell was trying to dunk on everyone he saw, Darius Garland put on a ball handling clinic, it was just utter chaos. Fast forward to now, the Nets will have to try to prevent that from happening while on a tough back to back. They will also be in Cleveland this time, whoopie.
