Dallas at Brooklyn

The New Jersey Nets were a pushover last year, but this team has improved a great deal especially at home where they are 9-10 on the season. The problem is that they still don't defend well enough to win consistently. The Nets are allowing 100 points per game in their last 14, so looking at a sub 190 total here lends value to the OVER. The Nets have been playing better offensively, and if they allow their average over the last 14 of 100, then they only need 89 to top the total, something they have done in six of their last seven games. Dallas has been 9-3 to the OVER vs. the East, and the Nets 10-4 to the OVER vs. the West. The last six meetings have as well with five of the six topping the total. The OVER is the call in this one.
