The Brooklyn Nets, despite being projected as one of the worst teams in the NBA heading into the season, still faced dilemmas with roster cuts during the presea

The Nets have seen victories on the court early this season.

We expect the Celtics to win this one given the stakes and that it takes place at TD Garden, but don't expect Brooklyn to hand Boston the win.

TD Garden is the location where the Boston Celtics (8-7) will try to defeat the Brooklyn Nets (2-12) on Friday. The Nets faced the Celtics and took a loss by a final of 113-99 in their last contest. Brooklyn finished the contest with a 40.

The Nets landed Kansas freshman star Darryn Peterson with the No. 1 pick in ESPN's latest 2026 NBA mock draft.

Jaylen Brown scored 29 points, Payton Pritchard had 22 points and 10 rebounds, and the Boston Celtics beat the Brooklyn Nets 113-99 to move above .500 for the first time this season.

Those spots belong to the Washington Wizards (No. 30), Indiana Pacers (No. 29) and New Orleans Pelicans (No. 28). Brooklyn landed at No. 27, with its only two wins coming against Washington and Indiana. The Nets won’t see New Orleans for the first time this season until Dec. 6.

During his time suiting up for the Nets, Millsap wore only jersey No. 31 and put up 3.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game.

Brooklyn Nets rookie forward Drake Powell has been experiencing some growing pains this season and he explained some of those areas of growth.
