02/28/2010 - (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.

NFL betting action is back! At MySportsbook, all of the pro football odds are posted for the NFC North. Check out how we see the four teams in this cloudy division stacking up this year in the chase for the playoffs! Green Bay Packers (+125) - With QB Aaron Rodgers leading the offense and DC Dom Capers working his magic on defense, the Packers are a real force to be reckoned with.
Virtually nothing changed on this offense for Green Bay from last year to this year, save for the addition of rookie OT Brian Bulaga to the bunch. Expect more huge numbers from the Pack, and a relatively favorable schedule should get them over the hump and into the playoffs once again this season. My NFL Betting Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC North Minnesota Vikings (+130) - There are still too many unknowns about the Vikes this year. There is a huge difference between QB Brett Favre and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under center. Plus, is Favre comes back, is he really going to be able to keep his pick total under double digits again? Depth at running back looked like it might have been an issue with RB Chester Taylor fleeing in free agency, but drafting RB Toby Gerhart should pick up the difference. This defense is still suitable, but with a first place schedule, making the playoffs is going to be very tough regardless of whether #4 comes back or not.

Chicago Bears (+350) - The Bears are probably a bit of an overhyped team once again this year.No, we don't think it is plausible for QB Jay Cutler to have as bad of a season as he did last year, and we do think the additions of RB Chester Taylor and DE Julius Peppers are going to help immensely, but there's still something in the water in the Windy City that we aren't so sure about. Maybe Chicago finds its way to .500... but then again, maybe it doesn't. If Favre comes back, Cutler might be the worst quarterback in this division this year.
Detroit Lions (+1500) - The Lions are probably once again going to be the whipping boys for the rest of the teams in the NFC North, but they aren't just going to roll over and die once again. There is some real talent amassing on this team offensively, as the combination of QB Matt Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, and TE Brandon Pettigrew should put a bunch of points on the board if the offensive line can even remotely hold up. The questions really lie on defense, where it feels like DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be trying to stop opposing teams all by himself. This year should show some marked improvement in the Motor City.
The Patriots will make NFL betting fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
