The Brooklyn Nets are currently struggling with a season-high seven-game losing streak, falling to 28th in points per game and 29th in shooting percentage. Head coach Jordi Fernandez criticized the team's laziness, poor spacing, and lack of defensive effort in their recent games. Despite the losing streak improving their lottery odds, injuries to players like Cam Thomas and Trendon Watford add to their challenges. They face the Los Angeles Lakers next, amid other competitive match-ups, highlighting the difficulty ahead for the struggling team.
"We were lazy," head coach Jordi Fernandez said. "We didn't touch the paint enough times. Our spacing was poor... Have to play faster... This is not who we've been or who we want to be."
In its seven-game losing streak, Brooklyn ranks 28th in the NBA in points per game (107.1), 29th in field goal percentage (41.9), 22nd in turnovers (15.1) and 20th in points allowed (117.9).
Pro-tankers rejoice. The Nets are in the midst of the league's longest losing streak and their lottery odds continue to improve with each loss.
The Nets will be without Cam Thomas and Trendon Watford, who are both managing left hamstring injuries. Cam Johnson is expected to return.
