The Brooklyn Nets will face off against the Boston Celtics for the third time this season.

The Boston Celtics face off against the Brooklyn Nets on Friday, Jan. 23. This will be the third meeting between the two teams, with the season series currently even at 1-1. Brooklyn is coming into the game following a disastrous performance against the New York Knicks earlier this week, where it lost 66-120.

The Brooklyn Nets only scored a measly 28 points after halftime, putting their grand total at 66 at the end of the game.

Trade season has been woefully uneventful thus far, but don't be surprised if Brooklyn rattles off multiple deals before the deadline.

The development part has to be real, too. Not “they got reps” real. Real as in better reads, sharper cuts, consistent effort and improved shot selection. Better basketball. Each rookie has shown flashes this season, Ben Saraf included, though he’s been consistently in the G League for a while now. All five must continue to take strides.

The Knicks broke a four-game losing streak without breaking a sweat, crushing the Nets 120-66 on Wednesday night.
