The Nets and Knicks begin their playoff series this afternoon in East Rutherford with the health of Jason Kidd and Kenyon Martin being the biggest issue. The Nets have won 12 of the last 14 meetings between the two teams, and are the two-time defending Eastern Conference champions. The Knicks will need big performances from Stephon Marbury and Tim Thomas, with Allan Houston not expected to play in the series at all.
