With the Nets facing the Memphis Grizzlies last night (Wednesday, March 23) on the road, they have 10 games remaining on their regular season schedule, beginning Saturday versus the Miami Heat on the road.
Six of the games will be at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, where the Nets are 16-19. They are better away from home. The Nets were 22-15 before taking on the Grizzlies, who were without superstar guard Ja Morant due to a sore right knee. At 38-34, Brooklyn was in the No. 8 spot in the Eastern Conference. When NBA games started on Tuesday night, they were two games behind the No. 7 seed Toronto Raptors , three below the No. 6 seed Cleveland Cavaliers , only one in front of the No.

Irving continues to remind the basketball world of his prowess; he dropped 50 on the Charlotte Hornets on March 8 in a 132-121 Nets win, then 60 on the Orlando Magic exactly one week later, breaking the franchise scoring record, in a 150-108 victory.
“A few shots I probably shouldn’t have taken,” he said afterwards. “Tough ones, with double-teams and triple-teams coming, but as long as I can do it with a smile on my face, and my teammates weren’t too angry with me, it was worthwhile.”
