Nets vs Knicks Prediction
This is a massive line for the Knicks, who will be playing their fourth straight road game. However, the Nets aren’t winning and aren’t covering numbers. The Nets are also on the end of a back-to-back. The Knicks have won 11 straight games against the Nets and are 6-3-1 ATS in the last 10 games. The Nets have not won a game against the Knicks since January 2023. What rivalry? I have no choice but to lay the big number with the Knicks on Monday night.
