The Nets were supposed to be built around Ben Simmons, but he's missed 11 of the team's 17 games this season and remains out with left lower-back nerve impingement.
Yet they moved a game over .500 with a win over Toronto at Barclays Center on Tuesday night and take a 9-8 record into their matchup against Charlotte in Brooklyn on Thursday, looking to win a season-best fourth game in a row - all at home.
Their three-game winning streak has been fueled in a variety of ways, with Royce O'Neale's timely long-range shooting in the last two victories, a new team-wide attention to rebounding that's paid dividends of late and a different significant contributor nearly every night.
