The New York Knicks (25-25) will make the short trip to Barclays Center Monday to take on the Brooklyn Nets (34-16) with tip-off set for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Knicks-Nets odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.
The Knicks snapped their three-game losing skid Saturday when they crushed the Detroit Pistons 125-81. They’re 5-5 in their last 10 games and PF Julius Randle is playing extremely well, having led the team in rebounds and assists in each of the last three games.
The Nets are banged-up, missing SG James Harden and SF Kevin Durant. They’re still 4-1 in their last five games, but they most recently lost 115-107 to the Chicago Bulls Sunday. Durant remains out Monday, but Harden is questionable. It could be the Kyrie Irving show again.

Knicks at Nets: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Knicks 108, Nets 105
Money line (ML)
The Nets have won seven of their last 10 and four of their last five, but beating a solid Knicks team shorthanded Monday night will be a challenge for Brooklyn.
Randle should continue his high level of play and carry the KNICKS (+170) to an outright win at Barclays Center.

Against the spread (ATS)
The Knicks are getting 5 points on the road as the NBA’s No. 1 defense goes up against the league’s second-highest scoring squad.
New York well above .500 against the spread this year at 28-21-1 compared to Brooklyn, which is only 24-26.
I like the KNICKS +5 (-110) to cover the spread.
Over/Under (O/U)
The Over/Under line of 217.5 points matches the lowest projected total of the Nets’ last 10 games.
The total went Under the projection in five of the Knicks’ last six games, while it has gone Over in only one of the Nets’ last eight.
Bet the UNDER 217.5 (-110) as the Knicks look to ground Brooklyn’s offense.
