Greetings from MSG. Nets-Knicks tip in 20. First time KD and Kyrie are playing together here. Crowd still making its way in. Curious to see what Seth Curry looks like with his ankle and how the crowd gets tonight. Nets need to keep winning to get the seventh seed. Updates coming. – 7:23 PM

The Nets have won their last 6 games against the Knicks, but have lost their last 10 games without rest (2nd games of b2bs).
So tonight, something has GOT to give! – 7:16 PM

KD stops to sign some autographs near Nets tunnel — then a few more Knicks fans ask to take pictures with him. He makes sure he is holding up the Nets part of his t-shirt in each one. Ha. – 6:58 PM

Steve Nash confirms Seth Curry is available tonight vs the #Knicks. He pointed out how much the shooting guard’s floor spacing helps the #Nets, as well as just easing the burden on a shorthanded rotation. – 6:07 PM

Adam Silver on the #NBA‘s role in the arbitration of the Ben Simmons grievance vs the #76ers: “There was no discussion certainly specifically about Ben Simmons, and the league would not have direct involvement with that arbitration. It goes to a neutral arbitrator.” #nets #sixers – 5:52 PM

A Nets win tonight keeps them on pace to finish 7th in East & host Play-In game; NYK can spoil that & can still finish anywhere between 9th & 12th in lottery standings; notes on that & Kyrie Irving getting stamina back, a Bruce Brown warning for NYK fans: sny.tv/articles/kyrie… – 4:39 PM

James Johnson (non-Covid illness) is out for the #Nets tonight vs the #knicks – 4:18 PM
James Plowright @British_Buzz
If the Hawks & Nets win tonight it’s looking like Sunday’s Wizards game could be worth resting the starters. Charlotte will play 4 in 5 nights assuming the play in is on Tuesday, extra day of rest would seem wise if there’s no advantage for seeding to be gained – 4:16 PM

Odds for a Top 4 pick at the 3 spot vs 4 spot are 52% v 48%.
Not a huge deal.
The concern is dropping lower. That’s a bit mitigated as Keegan, Sharpe, AJG & Mathurin are all the same tier.
Sharpe is the one non-Top 4 guy who feels like a potential star. He may be there at 6/7. – 1:59 PM
