NBA Power Rankings: Buy or sell the Chicago Bulls atop the East?

6. Brooklyn Nets

The good news for the Brooklyn Nets is that Kyrie Irving is officially back with the team. The bad news is that he still can’t play in home games. Even without Kyrie, though, the Nets have been fairly fine.

If you question this team, it revolves around whether or not they’ll be able to beat the top-tier teams consistently enough with the elephant that is in the room that is Kyrie’s potential unknown availability in the postseason.

The Nets are still a good team, but something just doesn’t feel the same for this team as compared to how dominant they were last season. It’s something to keep an eye on as Kyrie has finally returned.
