<p>I have no idea how this version of the Suns wins on the road against a Rockets team that was actually trying, but it happened. Phoenix went into Houston and pulled off an upset on the strength of 124 points, and when coupled with their near-win over Atlanta on the road earlier in the week, the Suns take a jump in this week’s edition.</p> <p>Make no mistake, this is still a brutal roster as currently constructed, but Devin Booker’s mere presence is helpful in keeping this team interesting. Phoenix has many changes to make once June and July arrive, but for now, they’ve earned inclusion despite the recent uptick.</p>. (21-58). Previous: . Phoenix Suns. 4. team. 66

Brooklyn Nets. 3. team. 147. <p>The Nets have packed it in, and there’s nothing wrong with that.</p> <p>Brooklyn is playing without their two best players for the remainder of the season as Brook Lopez and Thaddeus Young take the next few weeks off, and the results have been hideous as of late. The Nets have lost seven straight games, but more than that, Brooklyn has been <em>embarrassingly</em> bad during that stretch.</p> <p>Need evidence of that mess? The Nets have been outscored by 20.0 (!) points per 100 possessions during the skid, including a miserable 115.9 defensive rating. The end is nigh, Brooklyn fans.</p>. (21-58). Previous:
