Hawks visit lowly Nets

Basketball Betting Lines

03/16/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Atlanta Hawks will hit the road for two straight games starting with tonight's showdown against the lowly New Jersey Nets at the IZOD Center.

Atlanta will visit Toronto as well and is 16-16 as the guest this season. It is currently third in the Eastern Conference standings, just a half-game ahead of Boston, and has won two straight and eight of the last 11 games. In a 112-99 victory versus Detroit on Saturday from Philips Arena, Joe Johnson finished with 26 points and Josh Smith added 18 and a career-high 11 assists for the Hawks, who shot a season-high 63 percent.

"Any time we can come out of the gate like that, it gives us confidence throughout the game," said Johnson, who is expected to miss Tuesday's game with an Achilles injury. "That makes us a tough team to beat. When you've got to play catch-up on the road like that, it's always tough."

Sixth Man of the Year candidate Jamal Crawford made all three of his long- distance attempts on his way to 17 points in a winning effort.

New Jersey will try to put the brakes on an 11-game home losing streak this evening versus the Hawks, and has dropped four in a row overall. The Nets fell to 7-59 this season after Saturday's 116-108 loss at Houston in which Courtney Lee posted 24 points to lead the charge. Over his last seven games, Lee is averaging 20.6 ppg.

Brook Lopez posted a double-double with 22 points and 10 rebounds for New Jersey, which is trying desperately to avoid finishing with the worst record in NBA history, set by the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers (9-73).

"It was a combination of their effort and our lack of effort," Lopez said on NBA.com. "They moved the ball real well on us, and that was the difference."

In injury news for the Nets, guard Devin Harris (illness) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game.

Atlanta has won the first two meetings with New Jersey this season and three in a row overall. The Nets, however, are unbeaten in the previous five matchups as the host in this series.

The Hawks have lost 14 of their last 15 games in the Meadowlands.
