Yes, this game definitely has a Harlem Globetrotters-Washington Generals mismatch quality to it. The Warriors likely can name their score. But there is no reason for them to do that.

Beating any NBA team by more than 20 points is difficult even when it's the best versus the worst, which is the case here. Only once in their last 17 games have the Nets lost by more than 20 points.

Golden State beat the Nets by 16 points in the first meeting between the two teams this season on Dec. 22. The Nets actually led by 16 points during that game.

Brooklyn now has Jeremy Lin back. He played last night for the first time after missing the previous 26 games with a hamstring injury. Lin is Brooklyn's best guard. He'll by highly motivated since he comes from the Bay Area. The Nets should play hard hoping not to embarrass their teammate, who still has a chance to become the face of the franchise.

The Warriors are fully healthy. In this case, that's a good thing for the Nets because Steve Kerr can frequently substitute. Kerr has the Warriors in excellent shape to finish with the best record. His trick is keeping his stars fresh. This is a perfect spot for Kerr to limit the minutes of his superstars - playing an easy opponent and with a five-game road trip looming for the Warriors beginning on Monday.

Golden State doesn't have a good track record either in these types of mismatches going 4-10-1 ATS versus sub .500 opponents.
