What would appear to be a nightmare on paper actually bodes well for Brooklyn when they square up with the Rockets Friday.

Not only is Houston’s main defensive asset, Patrick Beverley battling the flu, but the match-ups overall could give Brooklyn the edge in this one. Without Beverley, the Rockets will be forced to put either Pablo Prigioni or Jason Terry on one of Brooklyn’s guards, you have to love that if you are a Nets fan.
