The Nets are looking for revenge as they complete their west coast trip in Los Angeles. The Lakers blew them out a week ago in New Jersey and have won 9 of 11 since the All-Star break. Both Jason Kidd and Kenyon Martin are questionable for the game and Kobe Bryant will be out after re-injuring his shoulder Friday against Seattle. Richard Jefferson has helped the Nets pick up 2 of 3 in Kidd's absence, averaging 20 points per game on 55% shooting in those games. Shaquille O'Neal comes in averaging 26.2 points in his last 5 games.
