According to Steve Bondy of New York Daily News, the Nets are going to go with starters Kevin Garnett, Mason Plumlee, Sergey Karasev, Jarrett Jack, and Joe Johnson. Brook Lopez and Deron Williams will continue to come off the bench.

In the last game of the 2014, Brook Lopez started in place of Kevin Garnett and led the team in scoring, contributing 29 points for the team in their 96-82 victory over the Brooklyn Nets. However, in the past the duo of Plumlee and Lopez has not worked. With Kevin Garnett playing in tomorrow’s game against the Orlando Magic, Lopez will once again come of the bench.

Although Coach Lionel Hollins has made a lot of changes in the Nets starting lineup throughout the year, the two players who have constantly remained in the starting five have been Kevin Garnett and Joe Johnson. Tomorrow, Kevin Garnett will make his 1366th straight start.
