What to Know
Nets fans better hope the squad plays one heck of a game on Wednesday as the odds are decidedly against them. Having just played yesterday, they will head out on the road to face off against the Memphis Grizzlies at 8:00 p.m. ET at FedExForum. The Nets are no doubt hoping to put an end to a five-game streak of away losses dating back to last season.
The Nets are headed in fresh off scoring the most points they have all season. They took a 144-139 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Nuggets. The loss hurts even more since Brooklyn was up 44-27 with 10:49 left in the second.
The loss doesn't tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was Dennis Schroder, who dropped a double-double on 28 points and 14 assists. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in assists.

Meanwhile, the Grizzlies entered their game against the Bulls on Monday without any home losses, but there's a first time for everything. The Grizzlies fell just short of the Bulls by a score of 126-123. The loss hurts even more since Memphis was up 44-24 with 8:04 left in the second.
The Grizzlies' loss came about despite a quality game from Desmond Bane, who went 6 for 10 from beyond the arc en route to 30 points plus seven rebounds. Less helpful for the Grizzlies was Marcus Smart's abysmal 0-8 three-point shooting.
Brooklyn's defeat dropped their record down to 1-3. As for Memphis, their loss dropped their record down to 2-2.
