Wallace will be missing a sixth consecutive game due to a sprained left ankle, while Brooks has missed three straight games, also with a left ankle sprain. Keith Bogans has started four of the five previous contests that Wallace has missed. Wallace has played in just one game this season for Brooklyn, scoring 10 points and grabbing six rebounds in 30 minutes against the Toronto raptors on Nov. 3.
