Knicks Nets and Predictions
Prediction
Knicks 112, Nets 95
Money line
This is a near-home game for Brooklyn, so you can’t ignore it here. However, the Knicks have reduced it in 4 consecutive games. Brooklyn hasn’t won in MSG since having KD and Kyrie in 2022.
The Knicks should cruise, but they are way too expensive to consider here.
PASS.
Against the spread
Not only have the Knicks won the last 4 meetings, they have covered them all. The Nets are just 3-7 ATS in the last 10 games and the Knicks are 5-4-1.
I expect Brunson to get what he wants, and SHOTS -7.5 (-110) cover.
More less
The Nets are 8-2 O/U in their last 10 games and the Knicks are 3-7.
The Knicks are going to have to lose 110 to get over the hump, and the Nets have allowed an average of 113.8 PPG over their last 5. They are 20th in defensive rating at 117.4.
The last 4 clashes have far exceeded this total. Sure, there are a few players missing due to injuries, but there are enough to absorb the price. OVER 204.5 (-110).
