Charlotte at Brooklyn

The Brooklyn Nets are 7-19, and that ties them with Philadelphia for the worst record in the NBA. They have arrived at this point with five straight losses. The last three, however, came against top teams in Toronto, Golden State, and Cleveland. The last team to beat them at home by more than six points other than Golden State was on December 1, almost four weeks ago, so they should be more competitive than it looks here. Charlotte is 17-13 on the season and has won three straight, but overall is just 3-4 in their last seven games, and have been out-scored in the seven games by a total of 14 points. This one is closer than it looks. Make the play on Brooklyn.
