Brooklyn Nets vs New York Knicks Prediction: Will the Guests Take Advantage?

Prediction for the NBA Brooklyn Nets vs New York Knicks match, which will take place on January 29th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Kyrie Irving scored 30+ points in 5 consecutive matches, but Brooklyn won only once. The team has crumbled slightly after Kevin Durant's injury, but with very high competition in the East, it is challenging to keep the same pace without its first star. The Nets are now 4th in their conference. Trailing Cleveland is already very close. The team is not planning to be active before the deadline for exchanges because Brooklyn has a very long bench, but many role players are about the same level, and it is possible to find a more stable player. Seth Curry and Joe Harris can't reach their previous level, Patty Mills rarely gets into the lineup, and all three are asking to participate in some deal. T.J. Warren may not play against New York, and Edmond Sumner's participation is questionable.

In the last match against Detroit, Sumner looked great, but Brooklyn lost – 122:130. Sumner has 24 points–only Claxton and Irving have more. Kyrie caught the courage that evening, scoring 6 threes, but the primary snipers failed the meeting. Joe Harris, Patty Mills, and Royce O'Neale made only 3 of 13 long-range attempts for three, and Markieff Morris did not fly. The Irving-Claxton-Sumner trio dragged the team, and the rest pumped up.

The Knicks are fighting for a place in the top 6 of the Eastern Conference. Thanks to 2 wins in the last 2 matches, they have increased their chances of success. After a series of 4 defeats, New York successively defeated Cleveland and Boston, which are in the playoff zone. The leaders of the East, the Celtics, and the wards of Tom Thibodeau beat in overtime – 120:117. Another bright match was played by Julius Randle, who scored more than 35 points for the 2nd time in a row. Jalen Brunson has 29 points, but R.J. Barrett made only 6 of 18 shots from the game and was much less effective than Immanuel Quickley. In defense, it is worth noting Miles McBride, who made three interceptions – this is more than the rest of the team's players combined.

New York is in great shape right now, and this is especially true of the team's leaders. R.J. Barrett, of course, would not hurt to add, but against Brooklyn, he should be a little easier than in the match with Boston. Brooklyn's defensive backline isn't excellent, and Brunson should have some space to maneuver. Irving is also in great shape, and Brooklyn is able to give a brilliant attacking performance.
