Brooklyn ended up losing to Dallas 123-111 when they played on Thursday. Guard Spencer Dinwiddie (19 points) was the top scorer for the Nets. Dinwiddie is averaging 22.8 points and 6.3 assists per game and has been keeping Brooklyn afloat with Kyrie Irving (shoulder) out and Kevin Durant likely to miss the entire season while recovering from an Achilles injury he suffered in last year's NBA Finals. Dinwiddie is averaging 25.7 points and 7.1 assists since coming into the starting lineup when Irving went out 22 games ago.
Meanwhile, Toronto opened the new year with a 84-76 defeat to Miami on Thursday. Guard Fred VanVleet wasn't much of a difference maker for Toronto and played for 38 minutes but had just seven points on 3-for-16 shooting. Toronto has now lost four of its last six games but has played great defense in its last four contests. The Raptors have held opponents to less than 100 points in each of those games.
