We've taken notice of the Nets, who have responded to new HC Jordi Fernandez and just completed the last three games of their Western road trip with wins. Brooklyn has been shorthanded, too, but it didn't matter in Wednesday's win at Phoenix that top scorer Cam Thomas was out as Tyrese Martin stepped into the breach with a career-high 30 points. Dennis Schroder had earlier missed the 108-103 win at Sacramento but has since returned to active duty. Home from a long road trip, however, sometimes prove a trick scheduling spot, and Orlando is not a team to run into at the moment. The Magic have also proven resourceful, winning four straight and now 10 of 11, all minus Paolo Banchero. Franz Wagner has elevated his game in the absence of Banchero, and earlier scored 29 when the Magic beat the Nets 116-101 at Kia Center back on October 25. Play Magic
