Brooklyn’s 2025-26 schedule leans into a grueling calendar, with 14 back-to-back sets and only two nationally televised games, underscoring how fantasy leverage could hinge on role clarity and rest management. The preseason features a Barclays Center opener, a trip to Jerusalem, and two NBA China Games against Phoenix, then a China-based wrap against Toronto?—before opening the regular season in Charlotte and a home date with Cleveland. The Nets’ NBA Cup group play pits them against Detroit, Orlando, Boston, and Philadelphia, shaping early-season rotation bets. Cam Thomas, still unsigned as a restricted free agent, misses the promo art—a notable signal in a season where Thomas’ minutes and usage could swing Brooklyn’s fantasy output depending on his contract status and how the team spaces the backcourt around him. Expect a grindy blend of back-to-backs and weekend home stands, with management decisions likely influencing late-round value and streaming options.
