"The Brooklyn Nets have looked much-improved in their last few games, grabbing two wins out of the last four, as well as keeping things close in the losses. Sunday evening, the Nets played a valiant contest against the Raptors - who have now won seven-straight - ultimately falling late due to the two-way play from Toronto's stellar forwards. On Monday night, the Nets will take on the New York Knicks, hoping to rebound from it's 10-point defeat. They still stand at 3-14, and are likely vying for top picks at the 2026 NBA Draft, but could still use early-season wins."
"It's no secret the Knicks have underperformed to start the year. They were listed as the top team in the East for many in preseason, but have started just 9-6 on the year, good for the No. 6 seed presently. They're a tough team to face, with a myriad of offensive and defensive weapons. Still, they're prone to their fair share of lapses on either end, and Brooklyn will need to take advantage to steal a win."
"Tyrese Martin's Hot-Streak Martin heads into Monday's game having averaged 16.0 points per game across his last four contests."
The Brooklyn Nets have won two of their last four games and have kept losses competitive, but fell to Toronto due to the Raptors' two-way forward play. The Nets face the New York Knicks Monday after a 10-point loss and enter the matchup at 3-14 while still needing early-season victories despite potential 2026 draft positioning. Both teams recently lost — New York to Orlando and Miami, Brooklyn to Toronto — increasing the stakes in the interstate rivalry. Brooklyn's two-way approach under Jordi Fernandez has improved, raising competitiveness compared with earlier blowouts. Tyrese Martin has averaged 16.0 points over his last four games.
