Nets vs Knicks Prediction
The Knicks are 3-0 SU and 2-0-1 ATS in three games against the Nets this season. The Nets haven’t beaten the Knicks since January 2023. Avatar: The Way of Water was in the theaters back then. The Nets are getting drilled this week and just lost to the Thunder by 29 points a few days ago. I don’t love the Knicks as massive favorites and this line is ridiculous. There are better options out there, but I’m going to side with the Knicks if forced to pick.
