Given that a team has to make it in the top-4 of the standings through record and point differential, Brooklyn has to not only beat the Rockets, but they will have to do it convincingly if they want to give themselves the best chance of going to the playoff stage.As noted earlier, Powell had the kind of bounceback performance that many Nets fans were hoping for as he had struggled mightily shooting the basketball. Against the Kings, Powell dropped 18 points on 6-of-10 shooting from the field and 4-of-7 shooting from behind the three-point line and he looked more confident with each made basket.Demin and Brown have been spending plenty of time on the court together as the Nets are looking to see what kind of chemistry they will have heading into next season. With that being said, Brown is likely to be the starting point guard and Demin the starting shooting guard.
