3 Things To Look For

1. The Nets have a label of being unathletic, which hinders their defense, but they are holding their opponents to 99 points per game this season. The Kings are 10th in the league in scoring at 102 points per game. Brooklyn is only scoring 96 points per game, so if the Kings can step up their defense and get out and run in the open floor they should have a decent shot at coming out of the Barclays Center with a win.

3. Defense seems to be a theme here. As we discussed yesterday, the Kings have been struggling on the defensive end and can't seem to hold a lead. The players are aware of this and want to make a change. Let's see if they start this road trip on the right foot and maintain a lead if they get one in the second half.

Here's to another good game from DC,

as good defense is what we hope to see.

But play close attention to the coveted Mason Plumlee,

and how Boogie blows by KG.

Prediction

Kings 103, Nets 97
