Goran Dragic - Productive outing off bench Dragic amassed 18 points (8-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and one steal across 20 minutes during Wednesday's 114-107 loss to Boston.

Impact Dragic once again provided a spark off the bench for Brooklyn and has totaled 32 points over the first two games of the opening-round series. The veteran point guard appears to have a solid matchup against Boston's second unit and figures to continue providing consistent production as a reserve throughout the series, though Kyrie Irving's struggles may have factored into Dragic's increased usage Wednesday.

Kevin Durant - Struggles from field in loss Durant notched 27 points (4-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 18-20 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal over 42 minutes during Wednesday's 114-107 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Durant was uncharacteristically cold from the field for a second straight game and has committed 12 turnovers through the first two games of the series. The two-time Finals MVP was able to salvage his offensive production with 20 trips to the free-throw line, but the Nets are going to need more consistent production from Durant if they have any chance of advancing to the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Seth Curry - Finds shooting stroke Wednesday Curry totaled 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one block over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 114-107 loss to the Celtics.

Impact After connecting on just 1-of-8 three-pointers over his last two games, Curry found his shooting stroke Wednesday and finished as one of five Nets players to score in double figures. However, the sharpshooter failed to add substantial contributions elsewhere, which made for a lackluster fantasy outing.

Bruce Brown - Strong performance in Game 2 Brown amassed 23 points (8-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 114-107 loss to Boston.

Impact After a quiet outing in Game 1, Brown exploded for the first nine points of Game 2 and played an integral role for Brooklyn throughout the game. The fourth-year wing finished second on the team in points and assists, while tying Kyrie Irving for a team-high eight rebounds. Brown also registered multiple blocks and at least one steal in the same game for the eighth time this season. However, his all-around performance wasn't enough as the Celtics pulled away in the fourth quarter behind a stellar performance from Jayson Tatum.
