Cam Johnson, Dennis Smith Jr., and Keita Bates-Diop will not play in the upcoming game against Toronto due to various injuries. The Nets also faced roster challenges with players like Cam Thomas out with a lower back issue. Despite the absences, the Nets managed to defeat the Raptors, who were missing key players like Scottie Barnes, RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, and Jakob Poeltl. The game saw the Nets breaking their losing streak with a 96-88 win, while the Raptors extended their losing streak to 11 games.
Per Raptors, Quickley and Barrett are out vs. Knicks (conditioning) along with Boucher, Poeltl and Barnes. https://t.co/chz5RCwWrl
Longest current NBA losing streak: the Raptors, with 11 straight losses.
RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley each participated in practice today as they ramp up to return to play. Any chance they are available vs. Knicks Wednesday? “It’s a possibility but we’ll see how realistic,” said Darko Rajakovic.

Rajakovic said Quickley and Barrett — who were on the bench after each missing multiple games due to personal reasons —are in the process of reconditioning to return to play.
Nets snap their 6-game losing streak with a 96-88 win in Toronto. But with the Hawks' improbable comeback win after trailing by 30 in Boston, the Nets are still 5 1/2 games back for the last play-in spot.
Make that 11 straight losses for the Raptors. 😬 ✅ BKN -6.5 ✅ U 217.5 https://t.co/Xat0bavEuK

Raptors 69, Nets 68 heading to the 4th. First one to 90 wins? Schroder: 15 pts Watford: 11 pts Nets have 16 turnovers and are getting close to the 20 they had here a month ago.
Nets up 49-45 at halftime. It's been as rough as the score sounds. Nets are leading despite 10 turnovers and shooting 5/18 on 3s Trendon Watford: 11 pts off the bench Schroder: 9 pts, 6 asts Trent Jr leads Toronto with 13. Raptors are shooting 3/17 on 3s
Nets 22, Raptors 20 after 1. To say that was a rough 1st Q would be nice. Dorian Finney-Smith: 7 pts Bridges: 5 pts Both teams are a combined 4/19 on 3s
Some slim rosters tonight in Toronto. And somebody’s win diet will end tonight. Nets have lost 6 in a row. Raptors have lost 10 straight. https://t.co/ezbMYItNqM

As the Nets are shorthanded tonight, so are the Raptors. No Scottie Barnes, RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley or Jakob Poeltl. All 4 started the last time the Nets faced the Raptors in Feb. https://t.co/Yn41PhCbiS
