NBA.com analyst John Schuhmann placed the Nets at 28th in his latest power rankings, citing an 11‑of‑12 road losing streak and a 5‑18 record in games decided in the final five minutes.
The team’s clutch offense and defense rank 27th and 30th respectively, and with a roster of young players like rookies Egor Demin and Nolan Traore, the Nets are focusing on development amid a 29‑game stretch.
