Randy’s Free Pick
The Brooklyn Nets are playing inspired ball, but at some point you’d think they’d run out of gas due to so much roster turnover and no legit star on this team. The New York Knicks are inconsistent as all hell, but they’re at home, and they simply can’t afford to blow a game like this. Not only for the sake of the standings but just in optics as losing to the other New York team that traded away Durant and Kyrie. Give me the Knicks.
