This is an 8* UNDERDOG DESTRUCTION on the Brooklyn Nets.

No need to overanalyze this one, Brooklyn is winless and will be risking life and limb today, pushing the pace from the outset as it desperately looks to get off the schneid. Atlanta on the other hand has won four straight and comes in complacent after winning 98-92 in Miami just last night. This is also a revenge scenario after the Hawks eliminated the Nets from the first round of the playoffs in six games. Also note that it's widely been reported that Atlanta will be resting a lot of its starters in the second game of the back-to-back scenario this season. Desperation vs. contentedness. Note that Brooklyn is 11-7 ATS in its last 18 as a road dog of 6.5 to 9 points, while Atlanta is just 18-19 ATS in its last 37 following a divisional contest. We look for the visitors to keep this one a lot closer than what the oddsmakers are leading us to believe, play on the NETS.
