Phoenix (47-21) at New Jersey (40-28) 7:30 pm EST
EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey (Ticker) -- The New Jersey Nets hope to continue their winning ways and move closer to a division crown when they host the Phoenix Suns on Monday.
The Nets have won eight straight games - two shy of their season-high which they set from December 16-January 8 - to build an 8 1/2-game lead over Philadelphia in the Atlantic Division.
New Jersey became just the third team to post a win at Eastern Conference-leading Detroit on Sunday with a 79-74 triumph. Vince Carter scored 21 points and Nenad Krstic collected 16 and nine rebounds for the Nets.
Jason Kidd was held to seven points on 2-of-8 shooting but did haul in a season-high 14 rebounds for the Nets, who held the Pistons to a season low in points.
The Suns, who already have secured a playoff berth, are coming off a 107-96 home victory over Denver on Saturday. All-Stars Steve Nash and Shawn Marion paced the Pacific Division leaders with 21 points apiece.
Amare Stoudemire had just six points and five rebounds in 17 minutes in his second game back from knee surgery. He had 20 points and nine rebounds in 19 minutes against Portland on Thursday.
Phoenix has won its last four meetings against New Jersey, including a 91-82 home triumph on November 25.
