The Pacers will likely be better prepared Friday when they host the Nets. Troy Murphy and Jermaine O'Neal will be back in the lineup, O'Neal for the first time since January 16. But the Nets have more to play for. With Wednesday's victory over Indiana, it looks like the eighth spot will be between the Nets and Hawks. The Pacers and Bulls have faded. The Nets also hope to continue their post-Texas offensive show. Since returning, they're averaging 109.1 ppg, going 5-3 over that span.
