Nets surprisingly remain in play-in race after recent H๏τ streak

Instead of battling for the worst record in the NBA, the Nets have a chance to head into the All-Star break fighting for a berth in the play-in round.

Thanks to five wins in their past six games, including two straight, the Nets host Philadelphia on Wednesday night at Barclays Center with a chance to get to within a half-game of the wildly disappointing 76ers.

And as of Tuesday, the Nets sat just three games back of the Bulls for 10th place in the Eastern Conference, with six of their next 10 games coming against teams currently outside the playoffs.

Nets surprisingly remain in play-in race after recent H๏τ streak
Nets coach Jordi Fernandez just wants his players to continue to concentrate on getting better in all facets of the game.

While the Nets lack depth even more than they did before buying out Ben Simmons, some of the teams in front of them in the East are in disarray.

First-year head coach Jordi Fernandez has somehow gotten his team within striking distance of the postseason despite preseason projections that the Nets would be the worst team in the league — and that was before jettisoning Simmons, and trading Dennis Schroder and Dorian Finney-Smith.
