The Nets seek their seventh win against the Western Conference this season.
Despite their struggles this season, the Brooklyn Nets have consistently risen to the occasion when facing Western Conference foes. They're 6-2 in such games and look to add to the win total in a home matchup tonight with the Utah Jazz.1. Prevent the balanced attack. Utah boasts five unique players that average 15 points per game or more, an extremely rare feat for a team of the Jazz's caliber.
2. Run through Cam. In his last six appearances, Cam Johnson is averaging 24.2 points per game, willing the Nets to victories over the Indiana Pacers and Toronto Raptors. Regardless of the constant flow of trade rumors, until Cam Thomas returns, Johnson is the Nets' No. 1 scoring threat. 3. Win the inside center battle. Both Nic Claxton and Walker Kessler rely on more traditional playstyles, creating an intriguing matchup. It's rare to see either step outside the paint for a jumper, setting the stage for a gritty clash down low.Following the one-game home stand, Brooklyn gets two straight road matchups with the Miami Heat and Milwaukee Bucks next week. With as successful as the Nets have been against the Western Conference, the Eastern Conference has posed far more issues.
