NY Knicks vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction
The NY Knicks are not only comfortably the better team, but they’re 6-0 SU and 5-1 ATS in the last 6 games against the Nets. I get it. However, the Nets continue to compete, and they’re 9-3 ATS on the season. The Knicks have had defensive issues over the last week or so, and they’re 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games as a double-digit favorite. Throw in the fact this is a New York rivalry and it is a tournament game. I don’t expect the Nets to just roll over now. Lots of points. I’ll grab them with the Nets.
