The New York Knicks continue to cover numbers in the underdog role and they’re a competitive team that doesn’t get blown out often. The Brooklyn Nets are still banged up and playing on the end of a back to back usually impacts these sort of situations the most, as you’re stretching the depth thin. This is also the first meeting between these clubs where the controversial call went against Randle late. There’s some motivation for the Knicks here. Give me the points.
