For the game, Scottie Barnes is listed as questionable on the injury report.

The All-Star forward has missed each of the previous two games, so this would be his third straight out of action (if he doesn't play).

Via Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic on Wednesday: "10 days after rolling his ankle, Scottie Barnes is questionable for tomorrows game versus the Nets.

Jakob Poeltl is out with a groin strain. IQ and Bruce Brown remain out also."
