With 17 games left in the season, the Nets (34-31) stand just 2.5 games behind the Toronto Raptors for the Atlantic Division. They’ll host the Charlotte Bobcats (33-35) in Brooklyn tonight, who are in the midst of a surprising season; they’ve already won five more games this year than in the past two years combined, and look poised to make the playoffs for the first time since the franchise’s lone appearance in 2009-10.
Here’s three things to watch in tonight’s contest.
