Only Four Starters Will Play More than 24 Minutes in Preseason Opener

Avery Johnson will likely test out a combination of rotations as this nearly brand-new squad plays its first game against another NBA team. Rod Boone of Newsday tweeted the following.

Avery said he'll play 4 of Nets 5 starters somewhere around 24 minutes tonight. One starter will only play about 18. I assume that's Brook.

It makes sense that Brook Lopez would be the one that plays the least minutes out of all starters since he is going to playing in his first NBA game since March 4th. That would mean that Nets fans will be seeing a lot of Blatche and Evans most likely, and possibly Teletovic if Avery decides to play Humphries as the center for some time.
