NBA: PHILADELPHIA (5-10) at NEW JERSEY (7-8)
<h3>Kidd looks to continue fine season as Nets aim to break even</h3>
<div class="pre">Philadelphia (5-10) at New Jersey (7-8) 7:30 pm EST</div>
<div class="pre">EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey (Ticker) -- The New Jersey Nets hope</div>to reach the .500 mark Saturday when they host the Philadelphia76ers.
New Jersey had its three-game winning streak stopped Tuesdaywith a 110-103 setback to the Memphis Grizzlies. Jason Kiddcollected 12 points, 15 rebounds and 12 assists for his 91stcareer triple-double.
Kidd has three triple-doubles in his last 10 games, but the Netsare just 3-7 during that span. One of Kidd's four triple-doublesthis season came in 93-88 win at Philadelphia on November 3.
One of New Jersey's biggest shortcomings thus far is theirinability to stop opponents from the arc. The Grizzlies shot 50percent (11-of-22) from 3-point range, becoming the fourth teamto his at least 10 3-pointers in a game against the Nets.
If Friday is any indication, Philadelphia does not appear to beone of those teams that will add to that total.
The Sixers tied a franchise record by going 0-for-14 from3-point range in Friday's 85-84 victory over the WashingtonWizards.
