Nets, Wizards clash in Izod CenterBasketball Betting Lines02/28/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New Jersey Nets haven't had a lot go their way this season but closing out February with back-to-back wins on consecutive days could be cause for celebration. New Jersey will try and do exactly that by halting a franchise-record eight- game home losing streak tonight against the Washington Wizards. The Nets are coming off heir most impressive performance of the season last night in Boston. Brook Lopez led the way with 25 points and Devin Harris scored 23 in that one, as New Jersey notched a 104-96 road win against the Celtics. Courtney Lee added 21 points before leaving in the fourth quarter with a sprained left ankle, while Kris Humphries and Keyon Dooling logged valuable minutes off the bench, ending with 11 points each. Humphries also grabbed 10 boards as the Nets used free throw shooting to pull off the win. Lopez and Harris combined to go 21-of-24 from the line, while New Jersey finished 34-of-41 overall. Boston, meanwhile, was 9-of-11 at the line. New Jersey, which also notched just its the sixth win of the season, beat Boston for the first time since February 2007 to snap a 12-game skid in the series. "It's not so much a difference between them, it's a difference between us. As we progress through our season we've definitely improved," said Lopez about the seemingly uneven matchup coming in. "Through the All-Star break...we've played very well against teams and we finally broke through tonight." The Nets (6-52) are trying to avoid compiling the worst record in NBA history set by the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers, who went 9-73. They are winless (0-14) this season in the second half of back-to-back games, however. The Wizards, meanwhile, are coming off a tough overtime loss to New York on Friday. David Lee's layup with 1.6 seconds remaining in the extra frame helped New York edge Washington, 118-116, and snap an eight-game losing streak in that one. Washington center Andray Blatche totaled 26 points while setting career highs in rebounds (18) and assists (six). Randy Foye and JaVale McGee each recorded a double-double for the Wizards, who have dropped three of four. Foye scored 22 points and dished out 10 assists, while McGee had a season-high 18 points and 10 boards to go along with five blocks. "It's frustrating," Foye said. "You have to give New York a lot of credit though. They played hard and finished the game." The Wizards have won three straight and four of their last five over New Jersey.
