Nets vs Knicks Predictions

The Brooklyn Nets and New York Knicks will face-off in an Eastern Conference battle that is sure to bring the fireworks.

Still, either team can win a game in the NBA and we are here to deliver quality picks and predictions.

When making Nets vs Knicks wagers, you must be able to consider every factor. That includes any recent injuries and whether one team is more fatigued than the other. Let’s dive right into how this game will go down and who will end up covering the spread.

This game will take place at 8:00 PM ET in the Barclays Center

Why bet the Nets:

✅ The Brooklyn Nets are obviously a lot better than the New York Knicks, but you don’t need me to tell you that. The reason I like the Nets in this game comes down to what I expect them to do in the second-half of this season. I like Brooklyn to make a statement from now until the playoffs and the Knicks are quite a good springboard for any talented team. To put it plain and simple, the Knicks can’t stay anywhere near the Nets when they’re playing at the top of their game.

✅ The Knicks will try to stay in this game with Julius Randle, but he’s nowhere near efficient enough to stay with the weapons on the Brooklyn side. Since the James Harden trade, the Nets rank top-10 in FG%, 3PT%, and FT%. You have to play close to a perfect game to beat the Nets and I don’t like the Knicks to do that tonight. The combo of Harden, Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Durant will just be too much to handle.

✅ The Nets will win this game by double-digits and I am willing to buy a couple of points. If you’re looking for a lean on the total, I definitely side with the over. I expect the Nets to have their way offensively with New York and the Nets aren’t great defensively anyway. Give me the over to smash.

✅ The New York Knicks are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

✅ The Brooklyn Nets are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game.

The Brooklyn Nets and New York Knicks not only have an illustrious history, but are only about an hour away from each other in a slow-moving vehicle and the rivalry is unavoidable. When looking at their head-to-head history, the Knicks and Nets are unbelievably close. The Knicks actually have just over 100 wins with the Nets right under that mark.

With that being said, history is thrown out when this game starts. The Brooklyn Nets might have the best team they’ve ever had and they are looking to finally put a championship in the arena. That doesn’t mean the Knicks can’t win this game as we’ve seen the Nets lose to plenty of lesser teams.
