Nets need a lift before London trip

New Jersey Nets play their final game in the States tonight before jetting to England for the double clash with Toronto at London's O2 Arena this weekend.

The Nets host Phoenix Suns at the Prudential Center desperate to halt a five-game losing streak in a month which has seen them manage only two wins.

Not even the arrival of NBA superstar Deron Williams, in a blockbuster trade from the Utah Jazz, has been enough to turn around another confidence-sapping streak for Avery Johnson's team.

The Nets have lost both games since D-Will's shock transfer-deadline arrival, 106-96 at San Antonio on Friday and 108-123 in Houston the following night.

Tonight's clash with the Suns will be the point-guard's home debut at the New Jersey arena which is hosting the Nets prior to their move the a new $1billion stadium in Brooklyn in 2012.
