Cameron Thomas has scored double-digit points in four of his last five games, including a career-high 21 against the Trail Blazers. David Duke has averaged 17 points, 6 rebounds and 1 block in the last 5 games, as well as 62 percent shooting and 83 percent free-throw shooting.
Although the Nets are a team with a Big Three lineup, it is undoubtedly a good situation for these three rising star players to have such a good performance, after all, in this case, Steve Nash should also try to allocate some of the Playing Time of the Big Three to these young players, so that not only can young players get growth opportunities, but more importantly, it is necessary to reduce the pressure of the Big Three and save more energy to the playoff stage.
