The Brooklyn Nets will need all hands on deck to continue winning. Here are four players that will be crucial down in Orlando.

With star players Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving being sidelined for major portions of the season, the Brooklyn Nets have been reliant on other guys to win games and be productive for them.

Unfortunately, the NBA Orlando restart will be no exception as both Durant and Irving are not expected to be available when the season resumes in late July. Therefore, it’s time to turn the spotlight on the Brooklyn role players that will be vital in order for the Nets to return to the playoffs and make some noise thereafter.

While players like Spencer Dinwiddie and Caris LeVert obviously are important to the overall team success, more guys need to step up and fill their roles to pick up both the offensive load as well defend at an extremely high level.

All eyes are on next year for the Nets when health will be on their side, but for right now, all they can focus on is creating winning habits down in Orlando and try to carry that into next season.

Here are 4 other players that will be crucial to the Nets’ success in Orlando.
