BROOK lopez out.. You would be a FOOL 2 not hammer Knicks -3

[rnunez91]

Its oifficial as of this morning 10am. Brook lopez is out, nets on a 4 game skid.. mostly due to their defense which has been atrocious and lack of offense. Last game jason kidd sat out which was huge.. Knicks honestly had this game the entire game.. Never seen carmelo and felton throw away so bad like they did in brooklyn. Carmelo shooting a 3 like 5 feet behind the 3 on 1 foot... Felton with like 3 airballs last 3 mins. None of that will happen again tonight, knicks -3 Allllllllllllllllllll the way

Lets not forget that felton/brewer/prig/wallace/thomas/smith/novak went for a combined 10 for 47. Felton was 3 for 19.. Jason kidd wasnt playing. Now we have kidd back + a net team whos on a 4 game losing streak without lopez. there is no possible reason 2 ever back nets in this situation..

[JayDeezy]

Might be worth a play with Lopez out still, but the Nets always seem to show up for a game vs their rivals... can't say the same for the Knicks

[Ambition]

Nets on a 4 game skid, does it really go to 5 games in a row? At home, this looks like a spot for the Nets to bounce back and start something again and I see the public to be all over the Knicks in this one.

Bet with the streak, not against it, big revenge spot for Knicks here IMO. Good Luck.

Will have to go with the -3 with lopez out because although the Nets will be up for this game so will the Knicks. They are lacking big time without Lopez and I expect at one point for Knicks to go on a run in the game.

I like your way of thinking.

Sometimes I like to bet with the streak, if it's the Bobcats on a losing streak then yes I'll go with it. Not a good team like the Nets though. Revenge spot is overrated to make a choice, Heat had the same revenge spot against the Knicks also without Melo and what happened? Knicks smacked them up again by 20.

show up? nets got lucky... the bench + felton + thomas + brewer went for a combined 18 points and jason kidd wasnt playing. now lopez is out kidd in + im sure this bench and felton will produce double those points

[MFDoom013]

2 unit play

[vinny808]

Bet 2 units and 2000 SBR points on the Knicks. Good luck!

[rnunez91]

Im so mad that my local bookie comes in at 12... I should of been able 2 catch knicks -3 now i was forced to take -3.5... That .5 makes such a huge difference in my opinion. Owell.

[TheGoldenGoose]

My book has moved to -3.5 also.

Thinking about just eating the ML at -155.

I bet it doesn't even matter in the end, win or lose. Still plenty of value in -3.5.

[KTnamja]

Brooklyn Nets are a lock.

[MARVEL]

I'm seeing reports that Lopez will play.

Interesting, I checked the preview report on Espn and Thanks bro. Just saw the daily news report that just came up 8 minutes ago.

May be better if Lopez does play. Think of the times when a teams' star player is out, they look to be screwed but typically win more often than not. Just like the other night vs Miami, when mello was out. Without mello the Knicks looked like they would get crushed, but they ended up winning, thus covering bc they were a dog. Just saying...

[SportsTerminator]

This might be the play of the year!!!! Knicks -2!!!

[Jago2008]

LOPEZ IS NOT PLAYING, NETS official site reported:

Dec 11 Lopez (foot) will miss Tuesday's game against the Knicks, the Nets' official site reports.
Recommendation: This will be Lopez's sixth straight missed game. However, he has returned to full contact practice, so he does not appear to be far away from returning to game action. He remains day-to-day, but the Nets turn around and play at Toronto on Wednesday, when he could make a return to the court.

[abe74]

Chandler over 10.5 rebounds or over 24.5 points+rebounds looks pretty good knowing Lopez is out.

I think that only applys if he hasnt been out for 10 days, they have clearly missed his offence, but more importantly they miss his defence

[alldaybaby]

I wouldn't count on Chandler to get points his offensive game is very limited. Unless he's getting putbacks or alley-oops the guy cannot create a shot for himself. just looking out.

[zunit]

odds changed as i was placing bet to knicks -3.5; i went with it...good move?

[theone78]

cant compare this knicks nets game to that miami knick game. cause miami is just not playing well now and the knicks hit every 3 under the sun to beat miami.

[bleek88]

Brooklyn ML has value here..
FYI u heard it here first

[jaymac82980]

Well, I guess I was wrong. Without Lopez the nets will get smoked. Oops.

Check your spelling too, please. "Offence", and, "defence", are not actual words.

[OhMyEli]

Knicks couldnt have done much worse in 1Q...

[yisman]

He has missed a lot of games already

[jaymac82980]

It's always a good stat to keep in mind. Especially when the thought process is, without Lopez the Knicks will beat the spread.

Nets can't sustain their run with their lack of a bench. Got a lucky quarter. Knicks have momentum now and will still have a good chance of covering. Nets are one of the lowest 3rd quarter producing teams in the league. I bet the Knicks make up their deficit in 2 minutes.

[DSSCA]

Jumped on NETS ML at -120. 2* play. I just want to be a part of the action
