The erratic roller coaster Nets! After a huge victory over one of the league's elite teams, the Brooklyn Nets have dropped back-to-back contests against clubs much further down the Eastern Conference standings. The Nets are 1-4 ATS against a team with a losing record. They've since blown any chance at grabbing home-court advantage in the first round by losing to a pair of sub-.500 teams, 115-111 in Orlando and 93-88 to Atlanta on Friday. Guard Deron Williams is expected to play, but isn't 100%. He averaged just 9.7 points on 30.6 percent shooting as Brooklyn dropped two of the season's first three meetings with Orlando. Brooklyn is 46 of 73 (63.0 percent) over its last three contests. Orlando is 3-0-1 ATS against the Atlantic division and 3-1-1 ATS against teams with winning record, so grab the very live big dog. Play Orlando.
