NBA Teams Scramble for Bottom Spot as Regular Season Nears End As the National Basketball Association regular season nears its conclusion, the standings are taking an unexpected turn. The Brooklyn Nets, currently sitting in third place, are surprisingly vying for the worst record in the league. With just one game remaining on their schedule, a matchup against the Toronto Raptors on Sunday, Brooklyn is looking to secure a coveted spot at the bottom of the standings. The Nets' efforts, however, may not be driven by a desire to tank, but rather a complex mix of injuries, roster shake-ups, and the intrigue surrounding the NBA's lottery system.
Brooklyn (20-61) stayed third in the race to the bottom with just one game left, their regular season finale Sunday in Toronto.
