Nets at Knicks picks and predictions
Prediction
Knicks 118, Nets 108
Moneyline
PASS.
The Knicks (-140) should win, but there is no need to buy the 2.5 points when New York should win by margin. Bet the spread and/or the total instead.
Against the spread
BET KNICKS -2.5 (-115).
The Knicks have won 4 of their last 6 home games and the 2 times they were defeated were fluky overtime losses. Brooklyn sold off their 2 best players in F Kevin Durant and G Kyrie Irving and with G Cam Thomas regressing toward the mean and averaging just 17 points in his last 2 games, the Knicks should be able to outpace Brookyln.
Over/Under
BET OVER 220.5 (-110).
The Over is 5-1 in Brooklyn’s last 6 games vs. teams with a winning record and 4-1 in the Nets’ last 5 after a loss. The Over has hit in 5 of New York’s last 6 games after a win and is 6-2 in the Knicks’ last 8 vs. teams with a winning record.
