If the Nets are going to make the playoffs, this is a game they have to win. The Jazz, while one of the West's top teams, are not a good road team. They're 16-20 away from Salt Lake City, even after their win in Boston Friday night, and are defensively inconsistent. Of course, they have today's version of Stockton and Malone in Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer. They're both averaging nearly 20 and 10, assists in the case of Williams, rebounds for Boozer. Meanwhile, Nenad Krstic is out with the flu.
