The Nets have a chance to get above .500 Saturday before taking off on a five-game West Coast road trip...the problem is that Gilbert Arenas and the Wizards stand in their way. Washington has been one of the league's most mercurial teams this season. A week ago, the club whacked Seattle by 41 and then the next night beat San Antonio by 15. Since then however, they have lost to Cleveland and Minnesota in hard-fought road contests. Jason Collins may play limited minutes.
