Info Post
The first match up between the Brooklyn Nets and the New York Knicks is in the books and the second one is quickly approaching. Tomorrow night the Knicks will once again travel to Brooklyn to face the reeling Nets, hoping to get revenge for their previous loss at the Barclays Center. The Knicks enter this game coming off a great win against the Nuggets, while the Nets enter the game with a 4 game losing streak. At this point in the season, this is little doubt as to who the best team in New York City is. It is clearly the Knicks. The Knicks have thoroughly beat the Heat twice and boast the best record in the Eastern Conference. The Nets on the other hand, have two "good losses" versus the Thunder and the Heat and then were beaten by two inferior opponents in the Warriors and Bucks. Brook Lopez will likely return tomorrow night to the line up and very well could be what the Nets need to end their losing streak.

What to Watch For:
JR Smith's Shooting: Will JR finally start shooting like his old self again? After 2 games where JR's offensive display can be categorized as poor, it is imperative that he find his stroke again and be the second option for the Knicks.

Carmelo Anthony's Hand: Melo was able to score at will against the Nuggets Sunday night, but this was mostly because he was getting to the foul line regularly. Against a more disciplined Brooklyn team, Melo will have to find his shot early and be the go to guy for the Knicks.

Felton Vs. Williams: These two have shown that they are two of the Eastern Conference's best point guards thus far in the young season and this will be a great duel. Yes, Williams is far better than Felton but lately Felton has been elevating his game and has acted as a real leader on the floor for the Knicks. In the last meeting between the two teams, Felton tried to do a little bit too much and in order for the Knicks to win this game tomorrow, he will have to limit D-Will and capitalize on his chances.

This is going to be a great game with a play off atmosphere and will surely not disappoint!
