<p>The Nets will take a five-game winning streak into Miami on Saturday.</p> <p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.netsdaily.com/">Nets</a>' have their second five-game winning streak of the season, thanks to another easy win over the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.orlandopinstripedpost.com/">Orlando Magic</a>. <span>Joe Johnson</span> and <span>Gerald Wallace</span> led the way in this one, a 98-86 victory in Orlando on Friday night.</p>
<p>Brooklyn led by just one after a sluggish first half, but used a 15-4 run to build a cushion midway through the third quarter. Strong defense, along with some offense from Johnson and <span>Andray Blatche</span> then held the Magic down in the fourth.</p>
<p>The Nets were pretty efficient until garbage time. They shot 46 percent from the field and 11-for-20 from 3-point range, while turning the ball over just eight times. And their defense was strong once again, holding the Magic to just 45 percent shooting and 1-for-9 on threes.</p>
<p>Johnson led all scorers with 22 points on 10-for-16 shooting, while Wallace scored a season-high 20 points, hitting 5-for-6 from three. Blatche added 14 points and nine rebounds, while <span>Deron Williams</span> finished with 11 points and seven assists. <span>Reggie Evans</span> had his fifth straight game of 10 or more rebounds.</p>

<p>Jerry Stackhouse is shooting 53.6 percent from deep, third in the league, just ahead of Ray Allen. It can't continue. Can it?? His teammates say he doesn't miss in practice.</p> <p>Billy King <a target="_blank" href="http://snynets.com/columns/net-billy-king-discusses-lopez-injury-rondo-altercation-joe-johnson-and-stackhouse/">told</a> reporters Thursday that while <span>Jerry Stackhouse</span> saw this season as a transition from playing to coaching, he came prepared to do more playing than coaching.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"Jerry was brought in, number one, for his veteran leadership… But he worked out twice a day in September getting himself ready for the season… When bringing these guys in, you never know what you’re gonna get until they start practicing… The rotation tends to develop once you start to play games… Jerry has given us more than we expected, but he prepared himself."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Indeed. As Sean Deveney of The Sporting News reports, Of the 42 shots Stackhouse has taken this season, 28 have been from the 3-point line. Of those 28 shots, 15 have come from the corners—he has made 4-of-9 from the left corner and 5-for-6 from the right corner. He is, in fact, the third leading three point shooter in the NBA, behind only <span>Matt Bonner</span> and <span>Rashard Lewis</span> ... and ahead of <span>Ray Allen</span>. That's pretty good company.</p>
<p>Stackhouse said he knew his coach wouldn't stereotype him, that Avery Johnson knew what he could do. "I know how that is," he said of stereotypes of older players. "But I knew coming in with Avery Johnson, I know him and he was a good player late in his career. I knew he’d be open-minded. I knew I still had something to give on the court."</p>

<p>So at the end of the day, the Nets will only be without <span>Brook Lopez</span> on Friday night vs. the Magic. <span>Gerald Wallace</span> will be lighter in the wallet by $35,000 (less than 1/10th of one percent of his $40 million deal) . All <span>Kris Humphries</span> has to deal with is scratches on his back and the certain knowledge that his boss thinks he needs a spelling test ("tetanus", not "tetnis").</p>
<p>With Lopez on the bench with a mild sprain of his foot, <span>Andray Blatche</span> will likely get the start. Blatche who had 17 points and 13 rebounds against <span>Kevin Garnett</span> Wednesday, will be facing lesser competition in Orlando. Nikola Vucevic, Orlando's 22-year-old center, averaged 12 points and nine boards in the two Nets wins earlier this month.</p>
<p>Expected to see some action is the Nets' own European big man, <span>Mirza Teletovic</span>. Inactive for the past three games, the 6'9" power forward will dress in Florida. <span>Tornike Shengelia</span>, who hurt his thumb while working out in the weight room, is not expected to play.</p>
<p>The Magic have lost two straight to the <a href="https://www.poundingtherock.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Spurs</a> and <a href="https://www.celticsblog.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Celtics</a> and are 5-9. The loss to the Spurs was so bad that it spurred a team meeting where veteran players expressed dissatisfaction with younger players. Always good for team morale these meetings.</p>
<p>Their biggest problems are rebounding where they rank 28th and inexperience among both players and coaches. Their head coach, former Net Jacque Vaughn, and four of their players are rookies. Half the roster is 25 or younger.</p>
<p>The Nets beat them in Orlando by 39 and at home by eight in their fourth and fifth games. It was the start of their roll after their devastating loss to the <a href="https://www.canishoopus.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Timberwolves</a> and the start of their march to meeting Avery Johnson's goal of becoming a top 10 defense. They already rank first in polnts allowed and a good showing against Orlando would put them into 10th place in defensive efficiency.</p>
