The Nets may continue to roll out their small-ball lineup, pairing Wallace with Brook Lopez in the frontcourt and flanking the three with Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, and Keith Bogans. Though overall the lineup has proven successful, it has come with mixed results on a game-by-game basis, and with the Nets facing the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight (with Kevin Durant at small forward, Serge Ibaka at power forward, and Kendrick Perkins at center), it may behoove the Nets to return to a more traditional look.
Additionally, Nets backup point guard C.J. Watson is a game-time decision, also nursing a bruised right knee. backup shooting guard, inventor of palindromes, and infomercial addict Jerry Stackhouse will sit out to rest a sore right hamstring.

Gerald Wallace is a very good basketball player. He makes a really big impact on the game. If he doesn’t play the Nets would really miss his defensive impact and overall effort. Jerry Stackhouse is also very important to this team. His corner three will be missed. He also gives a lot of effort despite his age. He brings a different look to the opponents. He makes threes consistently and really tries. It’s good to hear that Brook Lopez is back to his old self. He is one of the best players on the Nets.
