    Nets +2.5

    Wrong team favored here plus Jennings and the Bucks are horrible. Nets get a nice win on the road against the Bulls and stop their losing streak, I don't expect them to go home and start another losing streak, not against this team. Take the points and the Nets here.

    N-E-T-S NETS NETS NETSSS!!!!!

    Bucks win this one. Bucks looked really good in Orlando, just had a big meltdown at the end. Nets played a team missing their offensive everyman today.

    Isn't it a good letdown situation for NJN after beating CHI?

    not when they have a long home losing streak they want to snap plus they are getting healthy.

    sometimes you just have a feeling about a game and i've been pretty accurate on these.

    Lopez is expected to rejoin the team after practicing a couple of times with them.

    I'm not quite sure what Lopez is going to bring to the table coming straight back from an injury. Besides, he was playing poor prior to his injury. ie forgetting how to rebound. Nets are 3-11 at home. What makes you think they will turn it on tomorrow? This game just seems like too much of a coin toss. Could be a 15+ win to either side, could be a tight one. Nine other games going on dude i suggest sticking to teams with proven winning records. Just my two cents.

    May take a while for Lopez to find his touch but he wil be decent in pick n rolls with Williams.

    Johnson said before Lopez was injured they were hounding him to get back on the boards this season so he will be more active than last season but he does play alongside a guy who grabs a fuckload of boards each game.


    Didn't Jennings admit he hasn't been playing hard recently? Tough to back a team whose point guard isn't giving it 100%

    Just took a look at the Nets schedule, and they play the Knicks on Monday. So this is their sandwich game of a b2b2b. Nets are likely going to monitor minutes of their players, and I'm sure the Nets players are already looking forward to playing the Knicks. Also, I think the Nets could struggle trying to get Brook Lopez back in the mix. Does anyone typically know how teams do when they get a big player returning from injury?

    Just to note, the Bucks play the Magic on Monday. It will be hard to imagine that the Bucks aren't looking forward to Orlando on Monday after blowing their lead on Friday night.

    I'm still undecided on this game. Likely a no play. At first I liked the Nets until I saw that they are getting Lopez back and they are in the middle of a b2b2b.

    Yeah the more I look at this game, the more it screams "stay away." A lot of different angles to look at:

    -Nets in the middle of a b2b2b, with the Knicks the next day on Monday. I'm sure a lot of the players have that game in mind.
    -Bucks have a revenge game at home against Orlando on Monday after blowing away the 4th quarter to the Magic on friday.
    -Brook Lopez comes back
    -NJ does have some nice momentum coming off that CHI win.

    good points fellas but im still on the nets here.

    think i have a good pulse of this team, i was on them yesterday(the spread not the moneyline obviously lol) against my bulls and won and i think they take that momentum home and win again, they have lost 8 straight to the bucks and 5 straight at home. i see that ending sunday, its a gut feeling play. they will want to win at home.
    Hump and Williams are playing good ball

    NETSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

    Big time let down spot after an unexpected win in Chicago, look ahead to NYK tomorrow, local Rivalry with additional motivation cause of all the Lin hype. Btw, Lins break out game was vs the Nets. All that on a b2b2b with this Bucks game right in the middle and Lopez 1st game back today. Also, the Bucks have owned NJ in recent years.

    Bucks are overvalued and imo they are just as bad as NJ. But i would not touch this game if i were you guys.

    4 game in 5 nights, good luck the nets. They will need more than wanting to win here. As long as the Bucks don't get off the plane you are in business.

    I think people throw around the word "let down spot" a lot on here. I think good veteran teams are due for a letdown in this situation, but I think when it comes to a young and weak team like the Nets, it gives them momentum and confidence.
