Here are five games that the Nets should be looking at more than the others:

The Nets and Knicks will play on the 15th and again two nights later at Madison Square Garden. Bridges heads to Barclays on Jan. 21 and again in the season finale on Apr. 13.
Wednesday, Jan. 22 vs. Phoenix Suns
The Nets will see Kevin Durant and Devin Booker in their annual trip to Brooklyn on the second night of a back-to-back against the Suns.
