The Boston Celtics may be without multiple key players in Friday night’s game against the Brooklyn Nets.

The Brooklyn Nets are coming off one of the worst losses in franchise history, but they're looking to respond after their loss to the New York Knicks.

The Brooklyn Nets, like many other teams, have had active trade deadlines in year's past.

The development part has to be real, too. Not “they got reps” real. Real as in better reads, sharper cuts, consistent effort and improved shot selection. Better basketball. Each rookie has shown flashes this season, Ben Saraf included, though he’s been consistently in the G League for a while now. All five must continue to take strides.

During his time suiting up for the Nets, Joseph wore only jersey No. 40 and put up 2.0 points per game.

Trade season has been woefully uneventful thus far, but don't be surprised if Brooklyn rattles off multiple deals before the deadline.

The Brooklyn Nets only scored a measly 28 points after halftime, putting their grand total at 66 at the end of the game.

Friday's game will be the first of three games in four days, including the second leg of a back-to-back on Saturday in Chicago.

A mock trade has the Orlando Magic acquiring two players from the Brooklyn Nets to fill some glaring holes in their rotation.

Oddsmakers have set player props for Jaylen Brown, Michael Porter Jr. and others when the Boston Celtics visit the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center on Friday at 7:30 p.m. ET. NBA odds courtesy of BetMGM Sportsbook.
