The Nets are coming off back-to-back losses at San Antonio and Houston, but they played the Rockets tough on Monday losing by just four points. PG Jeremy Lin returned from a hamstring injury and collected 10 points and seven assists in 20 minutes off the bench, a nice boost for the Nets after him missing the last 17 games. When he is in the game the team plays much better overall and I expect Lin to see more court time tonight.

The Lakers are just 3-13-1 ATS in their last 17 games overall while the Nets have covered the spread in four of their last five.

The reeling LA Lakers have dropped seven straight games, and Luke Walton was ejected in their last game at Sac. The Nets have good perimeter shooters and I like their chances at home tonight.
