I don't believe the Nets are a quality Playoff team and certainly not on the level of Atlanta who have shown recently versus the Cavs that they can be a force and sneaky opponent this post-season. The depth may side with Brooklyn who acquired much more talent during the trade window, but the star power for ATL is glaring advantage especially if this game comes down to the wire as the books predict by looking at the betting line. Both defenses are bad, but the Nets are gaurd heavy, lacking interior presence unlike the bigger team of Atlanta who's size advantage will give them ample opportunity in rebounding and second chance points. Both teams are currently playoff bound but in order for Atlanta to avoid the play in tournament they need to win this game and close the small gap that the Nets have on the 6th seed only ahead of ATL by 3 wins with 6 games left of the season. This will be a true failure by Atlanta if they lose this one, and it would question their Playoff caliber.
