The Nets are now 2-5 since Richard Jefferson went down and the last two losses have been particularly ugly, losing to Detroit by 24 and Orlando by 33. In both games, opponents scored more than 110 points while the Nets didn't break 90. The Hawks are still among the NBA's worst teams, with a 17-28 record, including 8-15 on the road. Joe Johnson is averaging 25.4 ppg and could be looking for payback after not making the All-Star Game. The game starts at noon.
