LIVE Discussion: Boston Celtics at Brooklyn Nets, 7:30 p.m. ET

The Nets fought, they fought, they fought … but it wasn't enough to beat the Celtics on Friday. An overtime loss is enough in this scenario, even though Brooklyn enters this game as the No. 6 seed and only three games separate it from the No. 3 seed. So are moral victories a thing? Sure, given their scenario. But you play to win the game.

Let's see what they have.

Game 12 | November 13th | Record: 5-6

• TIME: 7:30 p.m. ET
• OPPOSITION: Boston Celtics (9-3)
• Turn on: JA Network on TV; WFAN on the radio.

Injuries: Ben Simmons is suspected of having tightness in his left calf. No Day'Ron Sharpe, Trendon Watford or Bojan Bogdanovic for Brooklyn. Dariq Whitehead and two-way Jaylen Martin are also back from Long Island. Cui Yongxi and Tyrese Martin, the other two, are still with Brooklyn. For Boston, We know Kristaps Porzingis is out. Since this is the second night in a row, we'll see if anyone is still seated.

The game: The turnovers will tell the story of this game. Boston fumbled 20 times last night and the Hawks were able to score 19 points because of those mistakes. This will make for an interesting dynamic against a Nets team that hasn't forced as many turnovers as one would think.
