The Brooklyn Nets are giving the Atlanta Hawks all kinds of trouble here in the first round of the playoffs. The series shifts back to Brooklyn where the Nets have won both games so far, and I like their chances of forcing a Game 7 back in Atlanta.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Home Cookin' - The Nets didn't have the best home record this season, but they've been much better at the Barclay Center recently. They've covered the spread in eight of their last 10 home games, and they've been very solid on their home court in this series so far.

2. Brook Lopez - The Nets center has played far better at home in this series than he has in Atlanta. He was dominant in Games 3 & 4, scoring 48 points and pulling down 23 rebounds.

3. X-Factor - The Nets are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 Conference Quarterfinals games.

Selection: This is a play on the Brooklyn Nets (*)
