The Nets have had a challenging season so far, with 25 wins and 38 losses. Despite this record, recent performances suggest that they are finding some form. In their last three games, they've shown resilience and an ability to compete against formidable opponents.


Analyzing their past performances reveals a team that thrives in high-pressure situations. They've demonstrated strong offensive capabilities, averaging over 100 points per game in their last three outings. Their shooting efficiency has been notable as well; they posted an effective field goal percentage of 59 percent against the Pistons and maintained similar numbers in subsequent games.

However, turnovers have been a concern for Brooklyn. With an average of around 14 turnovers per game in recent matches, ball security will be crucial against the Pelicans' aggressive defense.


Defensively, there's room for improvement as well – particularly when it comes to defensive rebounds and minimizing opponents' second-chance points. The Nets will need to tighten up their defense if they hope to contain the Pelicans' offense.
