Indiana at Brooklyn

The New Jersey Nets won a much needed game against the Pacers at Indiana in Game 4. However, this does not take away from the fact that the Nets continue to stuggle against the Pacers as this series is all about the necessity of each game as it seems that the team needs to win the most comes through. When the Nets had to win game two, they covered and came through. When the Pacers had to win game three, or face being down 3-1 on their home court, they came through and won in easy fashion covering the virtual pick'em line. Then, as the Nets needed to win game four or face the same elimination scenario on their home court, they came through as well. We now have game 5 with the spread is at a large 7 points. Considering the Pacers have covered the last 5 out of 6 games and they continue to outplay the Nets in most games this season (won the last 4 out of 7 games straight up), I look for them to play tough once again after the home loss and cover the number.
