NETS/KINGS Under 199.5 - When these teams hooked up a couple of weeks ago, I expected it to be one of the best games this NBA season, with both teams running up and down the court exchanging buckets for most of the game. Instead, I was extremely lucky to cash my ticket on the Over, as the Kings did most of the scoring in a 118-82 rout. While it would be very easy for me to come back with the Over again tonight, in the immortal words of Lee Corso, ?Not so fast my friend!? When these clubs last met, the Nets were probably filling full of themselves, as they were riding a 10-game winning streak and had lost just 1 game at home all year to that point. Therefore, the Kings? season high 69 points in the first half had a lot to do with the Nets? overconfidence. That will not be an issue tonight, as I expect the Nets to play much better on the defensive end. After all, they are still allowing only 89.9 points per game overall this season. As for the Kings, their defense is also often overlooked, as they are allowing just 89.3 points per contest here at home. In fact, the average total score of all Sacramento home games this year is just 192.4 points per game, 7 points below tonight?s posted total.

i dunno what everybody thinks, but i kind of like the under.
anybody for some input? I think the nets might be a little more causious this time. a win here can boost some moral.

Interesting write-up, Eugene. You have my vote! Nice call on the Clippers yesterday! GL tonight....
Personally I believe your right on the money with this. Nets should play tighter D. The Lakers swept the Nets last year and we all know that the Kings would have done the same. The Lakers are not hitting on all cylinders while the Kings are. I see the Kings dominating as they did in the first game, not a 30 point win but more in the lower double digit categories. But then again this is the NBA and logic and reason never can coincide in this league.
Good Luck I'm taking the Under with you.
