Brooklyn Nets
The Nets had four days off, ending with Christmas Day, before scoring just eighty-two points in a home loss to the Knicks on Boxing Day.

Spencer Dinwiddie had twenty-five points but only one other Net was in double-figures. Jarrett Allen did not have his finest game of the season and Brooklyn looked like a team lacking scoring punch in falling to 16–14.
It was the second game Brooklyn played since David Nwaba tore his ACL in a loss to the Spurs a week ago.
Now the Nets play three road games in a row that take them right through to the New Year, starting in Houston and ending in Dallas. They have to fly up to Minnesota in-between in an unfortunate wrinkle in the itinerary.
Initially, the Nets got a bump without Kyrie Irving, who still hasn’t been cleared for contact weeks after it was first expected he would be.
But now, it appears Brooklyn could use some of his shot-making. For Irving personally, it would certainly be nicer to return feeling needed, rather than coming back with the fans feeling like he is going to spoil all that has gone well since he got hurt.
But it isn’t as if Brooklyn has been struggling in the long-term. It has won six of its last ten and will get back to defending, running and sharing the ball on offense against the Rockets with the Knicks nightmare in the rearview mirror.
Houston Rockets
The Rockets did play on Christmas and lost as the day’s biggest favorite, 116–104 to the Warriors (the day was a terrible one for favorites overall, four of the five losing. Only Boston covered as a road favorite in Toronto in the first game of the day).
The Warriors, who are healthier now than they’ve been in some time, got sixty-two points from the trio of Damion Lee, D’Angelo Russell and Draymond Green.
Russell Westbrook scored thirty for the Rockets but took thirty-two shots in the prime time Christmas spot and missed all eight of his three-point shots.
Ben McLemore scored just six points as the lead man off the bench. He hasn’t hit double-figures in four games in a row, his longest drought this season since the first five games of the year.
McLemore has played more games off the bench but he’s also started eight and scored over seventeen points per game in them. Off the bench, he’s averaging just over seven. It would seem he was a beneficiary of Westbrook’s and James Harden’s playmaking as a starter.
The Rockets haven’t lost two in a row in over a month now. They have bounced back to win games following each of their last four losses.
