New York at Brooklyn

The NY Knicks are leading the Atlantic Division and will face the one-time doormat of the NBA, the Brooklyn Nets, who have transformed themselves into a serious contender. The Nets have opened the season at 8-4. The Nets have a great trio of players, a inside out presence with Lopez and Williams, and the scoring punch of Joe Johnson on the wing. Johnson and Lopez both are riding nine game streaks of scoring in double-digits. Kris Humphries carries the burden on the boards and already has acheived four double-doubles on the season. A favorable matchup here for the Nets who are 4-0 when they score 100 plus on the season, while the Knicks, never known for defense, have coughed up 100+ in five of their last seven. The Nets are still under the radar and have failed to cover just one of their last nine. Play on Brooklyn in this one.
