Brooklyn at New York

New Jersey is a team a team on a roll and with the combo of Carter and Kidd, they are finally starting to put it together out of necessity more than antyhing else. Sure, Steve Francis is playing, but let's be on the right side of this equation. He will surely help this Knicks squad down the road but in the first game, don't think so. I expect the Nets to continue their winning ways and take this game by 7-10 as the Knicks woes continue for now. Over their last ten games, New York is 1-9 while New Jersey is 7-3. New Jersey has brought down the clamps on defense, holding their last five opponents to 87 ppg. Meanwhile, New York is allowing well over 100. Two stars on the Nets.
