New York Knicks vs Brooklyn Nets Analysis
The battle of New York tonight as the Nets and Knicks will face off tonight with the Nets coming in as -5 point favorites and a total of 229.
The Knicks have won five out of seven games while Brooklyn has lost four out of seven. They did get a win last night against Houston, but they’ll be in a back to back while the Knicks will be rested.
Nets Not Invincible
The hype behind the Nets has quickly faded as they have immense problems on the defensive side, and their lack of bench is glaring.
Brooklyn got a win against Houston last night, but their only two wins in their last five games are against Houston and Detroit, and they’re 0-5 ATS their last five games.
They’re also 1-4 O/U in their last five, and Seth Curry did not play last night due to his ankle injury so I don’t know what to expect, if anything from him.
Knicks Not Giving Up
Credit to the Knicks young players for giving all out effort and putting up solid numbers and winning some games as the season winds down.
Toppin has been nice, Quickly has had good moments, and the New York fan base has fallen in love with Barrett.
They have not been a good covering team, particularly at home going 1-4 their last five and 2-8 their last 10 games at home. Not much to report on the spread for this team, but I do have a bet I like for this game.
New York Knicks vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction
The Knicks team total is 112.5, and they’ve only gone over this total in three out of ten games, and Durant made it a point saying they needed to stop fouling early and giving the opposing team easy points.
They held Houston to 105 points which doesn’t sound like much, but that’s Houston’s lowest point total in seven games.
I’ll take the under on the Knicks team total 112.5 as Brooklyn gives another good defensive performance against a bad team.
Prediction: Knicks Under Team Total 112.5
