Brooks Gametime Decision vs Celtics

The Nets host the Boston Celtics tonight at the Barclays Center.  This will be the second time they have played in three days although one thing is different. The Nets will play their starters tonight.  This should be a great game to watch and see what the Nets can do.   Boston@Brooklyn 8PM TNT

MarShon Brooks was the topic today when it was revealed that he might play and be a game time decision.

Injury Updates:

Avery said MarShon is a game time decision. CJ Watson is getting night off for rest purposes. Stackhouse is out 7-10 days with tendinitis.

Today’s Practice:

Avery looking for #brooklynnets to improve their defensive rating (in-house metric) by time season starts. Not quite up to +.500 level yet.

Asked Doc Rivers if he thinks tonight's game will have more juice since it's on @NBAonTNT, in a new arena vs. division rival: "I hope so."

Avery Johnson plans to use normal rotation tonight and tomorrow night. Only one preseason game left after that, Weds vs Knicks.

Tyshawn Taylor will play again tonight and with CJ Watson out resting, Taylor will slide into Watson's backup PG role.

MarShon Brooks is expected to play tonight for the first time this preseason. Should be interesting to see how he looks and fits in.

C.J. Watson is getting the day off, as expected, so expect Tyshawn Taylor to get another 15-20 minutes like he did Tuesday in Boston.
