The Brooklyn Nets will face the Utah Jazz at Barclays Center tonight. This game might just be a warm up to the Battle of NYC Part III being held on Wednesday night for most of the Nets family, but for Deron and Humphries this game has sentimental value. Deron was drafted by the Utah Jazz as the 3rd pick in the 2005 NBA draft and spent six seasons with the Jazz before being traded abruptly to the Nets. Believe it or not, Deron isn’t the only current Nets player drafted by the Jazz. Kris Humphries was the 14th pick in the 2004 NBA draft by Utah and spent two seasons as their 12th man. Because of the way things ended for both players and the Jazz, they want nothing more than to beat their old team tonight. Utah is a well-coached and a gritty basketball team with success against the Nets in recent years. The Nets last win vs the Jazz came on 1/19/2011, and are 1-6 in their last seven tries.
