The Brooklyn Nets are currently 18-21 and 0.5 games out of the eight seed in the eastern conference. The Nets have played an extended run at home, so now 4 out of their next 5 games they will hit the road. The road trip starts tomorrow night when the Nets take on the Memphis Grizzlies. The Grizzlies have been in the news a lot lately, as Omri Casspi and Garrett Temple reportedly got into a fist fight during a team meeting on Wednesday. The Grizzlies also just acquired Justin Holiday from the Bulls for MarShon Brooks, Wayne Selden Jr, and 2 second round picks. The Grizzlies have not being playing well, as they are 2-8 over their last 10. This will be a tough game for the Nets, but they should be able to pull out the win.

The Nets then travel to Chicago on Sunday. The Nets already defeated the Bulls on their home court, and should be able to again. On the second half of a back to back, the Nets travel to Boston to play their first game against the Celtics this season. This will be a tough game for Brooklyn, as they always struggle vs the Celtics, and the Celtics are one of the top 5 teams in the East. The Nets then return home to face the Hawks on Wednesday in what should be a win for Brooklyn. The Nets wrap up the tough stretch with a trip to Toronto to face the Raptors on Friday. The Raptors game will be the most difficult game of the stretch, and I do not expect Brooklyn to win it. The Raptors still remember losing to Brooklyn last month, and will look to get revenge. If the Nets are able to go 3-2 over this 5 game stretch, they will prove to the NBA that they are for real.
