3* HEAVY HITTER on Nets over Nuggets

Denver vs. Brooklyn, 02/13/2013 19:30 EDT, Score: 108 - 119

Point Spread: 0/-110 Brooklyn

Sportsbook: DSI

Result: Win

Denver is a solid team, checking into this game at 33-19 overall, but they have struggled on the road in going 11-16. The problem is the Nuggets score 8 ppg less on the road and they allow 3 ppg more. That's quite a difference and is a big reason I like the Nets tonight.

Brooklyn hasn't played well lately, winning just four of their last 0 games, but a closer look at the schedule shows they played the role of an underdog in all but three of those games. It was a tough stretch to end the first half of the season and I think Brooklyn is going to be motivated to close out with a win.
