Nets at Knicks and predictions
Prediction
Knicks 112, Nets 95
Moneyline
This is a quasi-home game for Brooklyn, so you can’t discount it here. However, the Knicks have cut it down in 4 straight meetings. Brooklyn hasn’t won in MSG since it had KD and Kyrie in 2022.
The Knicks should cruise, but they’re far too expensive to consider here.
PASS.
Against the spread
Not only have the Knicks won the last 4 meetings, they have covered in all. The Nets are just 3-7 ATS over the last 10, and the Knicks are 5-4-1.
I expect Brunson to have his way, and the KNICKS -7.5 (-110) to cover.
Over/Under
The Nets are 8-2 O/U over their last 10, and the Knicks are 3-7.
The Knicks are going to have to drop 110 to get this 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 matchups have gone well over this total. Granted, there are a few players missing due to injury, but there’s enough to cash the OVER 204.5 (-110).
