Part of the reason that Brooklyn found it tough to hang in there is due to their defense struggling to contain Tyler Herro, who piled up 25 points and eight assists in the contest. With that being said, here are the Nets player grades following Saturday's loss to the Heat:

Russell finished Saturday's 106-97 loss to Miami with 22 points (6-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), one rebound, six assists, two blocks and two steals over 26 minutes.

Russell was a late add to the injury report Wednesday due to a bruised right shin and a tight left hamstring. With the Nets dealing with a handful of injuries, Keon Johnson, Tyrese Martin, Reece Beekman and Jalen Wilson should see plenty of action.

Russell is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers due to a right shin contusion and left hamstring tightness, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Johnson is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Suns with a right ankle sprain, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports. Johnson picked up the injury during Tuesday's 99-95 loss to the Knicks, but he was able to finish the game.
