The Brooklyn Nets finally got to enjoy a blowout of their own. After taking their lumps through the first 10 games of the season, Brooklyn dismantled the New Orleans Pelicans, 145-111, on Wednesday night. It was the kind of offensive performance this team desperately needed and a welcoming change from what Nets fans had been watching.
Saturday offers a new test. The Nets close out their four-game road trip Saturday night in Memphis, where an 8-4 Grizzlies team has emerged as one of the early surprises
of the 2026-27 season. Memphis is coming off a 142-111 win over New Orleans on Friday, so the Pelicans have managed to make two opponents look awfully good in the span of a few days.
The Grizzlies have found their footing under head coach Tuomas Iisalo, with a young roster buying into his system and rookie Cam Boozer already making an impact. Memphis has plenty of reasons to feel good about its start. Brooklyn, meanwhile, will be looking to finish its road trip with another encouraging result and build on Wednesday’s offensive breakthrough.
Memphis is playing the second night of a back-to-back, so Brooklyn has an opportunity to take advantage. Mikel Brown Jr. returns after missing the last two games.

Preview
“Memphis’ most promising cornerstone is someone the franchise hopes carries them into the next generation. Rookie Cameron Boozer adjusted to the NBA seamlessly and somehow still has plenty of room to grow. He’s second among rookies in assists per game, a pretty impressive feat for a power forward, alongside 9.8 rebounds a night. And watching Boozer also makes me realize I watched his dad’s journey from college at Duke all the way to the pros and beyond. Time flies, man.”
