Season Stats:
NJN:
PPG: 87.8 Opp PPG: 86.3
FG%: .427 Opp FG%: .424
RPG: 38.8 Opp RPG: 42.7
UTAH:
PPG: 93.1 Opp PPG: 92.3
FG%: .449 Opp FG%: .441
RPG: 41.8 Opp RPG: 36.1
New Jersey's Concerns/ Utah's Strengths:
1. Utah is averaging 93.1 as opposed to their 87.8 average.
2. They're giving more rebounds to their opponents (this can be a problem with AK47)
3. They are on a losing streak as opposed to Utah's winning streak.
4. Utah has won the last three meetings between the teams and 14 of 16 at home.
Utah's Concerns/ New Jersey's Strengths:
1. New Jersey's ability to bounce back from a loss. Judging from the way they rallied in the second half against the Kings, the Nets can smell blood.
2. They're allowing a lot of points.
3. Jason Kidd outclassing the PG's of Utah.
4. The Nets fastbreak attack.
Key Match-up:
Kenyon Martin
17.7 ppg
9.2 rpg
2.0 apg
Andrei Kirilenko
17.3 ppg
7.5 rpg
3.0 apg
Pretty good match-up if you ask me. This match-up can spell the difference. Judging from the way K-Mart is playing, I'm betting that he'll get the better end of this match-up. Look for him to score in the 20's.
Prediction:
The Nets will use their fastbreak attack as usual. The Nets will take advantage of their advantage at the PG position. However, look for Utah's hustle to try to keep the game close. Nets win the game by 10 or more.
On a side note:
This is the first time that the Collins twins will face one another on the court. This won't make that much of an impact anyway since Jarron isn't getting a lot of PT.
