Brooklyn has won three of five games since the season restarted in Orlando. They have three games remaining before the playoffs begin. They could rest some of their key players in those three games.

The Nets will finish seventh or eighth in the Eastern Conference. They will have a difficult matchup against either the Toronto Raptors or Milwaukee Bucks in the first round of the postseason.

Still, making the playoffs is a big accomplishment for the shorthanded Nets no matter what happens in the postseason.
