New Jersey Nets at Golden State Warriors (TNT | 10:30 PM ET)

New Jersey has tied a season-long losing streak by dropping 6 in a row after getting blown out by Sacramento 128-94 on Wednesday. "Just a dismal performance," Nets head coach Lawrence Frank said. "It starts with containment on the ball. We couldn't do that. We also couldn't close out on their shooters - we are simply playing very poorly." They are halfway through a season-high 6-game road trip. EDGE: WARRIORS
Golden State has not lost consecutive home games since dropping 4 in a row at Oracle Arena to start the season. The Warriors are coming off a shocking home loss to Minnesota on Monday and began a stretch of playing 13 of 16 games at home with that setback. "I'm pretty disappointed with our performance tonight," Golden State head coach Don Nelson said. "There didn't seem to be much energy, much passion, or much urgency to the game. We've been playing very well but we laid an egg tonight." SLIGHT EDGE: NETS
The Nets have won 3 of the last 4 meetings SU with the Warriors along with 8 of the past 10. The Nets are 9-1 ATS during that stretch, and point guard Jason Kidd is from Oakland, so this is a homecoming game for him. EDGE: NETS
Warriors are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 home games.
Warriors are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as a favorite.
The UNDER is 6-2 in New Jersey's last 8 games as an underdog.
The OVER is 8-3 in New Jersey's last 11 games vs. Pacific Division.
The OVER is 7-2 in Golden State's last 9 Thursday games
