The Nets’ charter finally left Atlanta on Tuesday morning after a storm that did more than delay travel. Heavy snow stranded both teams in different cities and briefly put Tuesday night’s game

INDIANAPOLIS — It’s not every day an NBA team finds itself traveling on the day of a game, let alone two, but that is the case for the Dallas Mavericks and Brooklyn Nets. Both teams were able to fly to New York City on Tuesday morning,

The Brooklyn Nets have struggled in the fourth quarter this season, but they are determined to learn through those moments instead of getting upset.

The Hawks enter this matchup after a 128-97 loss against the Miami Heat on Friday in which the fourth quarter was where Atlanta lost this game to the point of it becoming a blowout. Center Onyeka Okongwu had 22 points and three rebounds to lead the Hawks while guards Nickeil Alexander-Walker and CJ McCollum had 20 points each in the losing effort.

Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg has been ruled out of playing Tuesday on the road against the Nets.

Nets forward Ziaire Williams will be sidelined for his second consecutive game on Sunday due to personal reasons.

Gafford has been listed as questionable due to right ankle injury management and he is in danger of missing his first game since January 22. If Gafford is sidelined, Marvin Bagley III and Dwight Powell could both be in line for increased roles.

The Nets will start the second half of the season without Nic Claxton. He sprained his right ankle during Tuesday’s practice and is out for the Nets’ game against the Cavaliers on Thursday night in Cleveland It will be just the fourth game Claxton has missed this season.

Michael Porter Jr.'s late-game limitations came back to bite the Nets during Sunday's loss to the Hawks in Atlanta.
