Tonight the New Jersey Nets will go for their third consecutive victory this season against a Philadelphia 76ers team that hasn't won since returning from the All-Star break.

The 1-point underdog Nets have been outrebounded by an average of 10.4 during their current five-game skid. Philadelphia, meanwhile, is ranked in the top 10 in the NBA in rebounding at 42.7 per game.

After winning four straight heading into the All-Star break, Philadelphia arrives at the Izod Center with three consecutive losses. The 76ers began their four-game trip with a 97-91 loss to Miami on Saturday.

The last four games in New Jersey in this series have been decided by an average of 5.0 points, with neither team winning by more than nine.

Andre Iguodala has averaged 19.0 points, 8.5 boards, and 3.0 assists in the two losses to New Jersey in 2008-09.
