The Brooklyn Nets and Denver Nuggets are playing at the Pepsi Center on Thursday night and the game is the second of a doubleheader on TNT and is streaming online from the overtime website from the channel and on the NBA League Pass and this could be the last game for Jason Collins depending on what the team does and it starts at 10:30 pm ET.
The Nets have played much better since the start of the year and they are in the playoff and division contention and they are coming in after a huge loss against the Portland Trail Blazers and now they are playing against the Nuggets before continuing their road trip against the Bucks in Milwaukee. The team lost big to the Blazers in Portland and they scored only 80 points while allowing over 120 and they come into the game ranked 22nd in scoring with 97 points per game and they are allowing nearly 100 per contest.
The team is 26-29 on the season under Jason Kidd and they are playing much better than the New York Knicks, who could end up missing the playoffs after winning 50 games and the Atlantic division last season. The Nets and Knicks both started off the season with disappointing records, but the Nets have turned that around and the play of Deron Williams and Kevin Garnett has been integral and even the addition of Jason Collins has kept the team on the right track and now they are within striking distance in the division as well right behind the Toronto Raptors.
The Knicks might be the most disappointing team in the league and they are 11 games back in the division and have lost three in a row and now they are running out of time to turn things around and they are in danger of missing the playoffs. The team may not even make in the east and that is pretty terrible considering everyone is nearly under .500 and the west is much deeper. The Nuggets come into the game after a loss to the Blazers as well and they next play on the road against the Portland Trail Blazers and they come into the game with 102 points per game and that ranks 11th in the league, while the team is ranked fifth overall in rebounds per game.
