Meanwhile, the Nets (21-35) have dropped four in a row and hope to turn things around as they face the third game of a four-game road trip with the opportunity to improve on their, 8-18, road record. Mikal Bridges leads the team, averaging 21.5 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 0.9 steals per game. Cam Thomas is averaging 21.0 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.6 assists, while Cameron Johnson averages 13.4 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game.
