Indiana at Brooklyn

Both of these teams have poor records but a shot at the playoffs, as they chase the Atlanta Hawks for the #8 spot. We were on New Jersey over the Knicks in their last game, but that was more a fade of New York than an endorsement of New Jersey. The Nets are just 4-9 in March. Meanwhile, Indiana is actually winning. They played New Orleans tight yesterday. It was an (expected) loss but they had won four straight prior to that including an upset over Chicago. They have gone 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven vs. Eastern Conference foes. New Jersey is .500 at home this season but just 13-21 ATS. They are allowing teams to eat them up of late, averaging 107.2 ppg allowed over their last five. With Indiana's offensive prowess (110 ppg over last five), they are going to score early and often here. The Nets have covered just four of their last fourteen games coming off a 100+ point performance. They are 2-6 ATS in their last eight following an ATS win and 1-7 SU in their last eight off a win. We like the live dog here.
