Brooklyn

Before facing New York, the Nets made a trip to the West. The team lost for the second time this season to Portland (103-105), stopped LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers (130-112), and blew an 18-point fourth-quarter lead to the Los Angeles Clippers (114-125). Overall, Brooklyn needs more consistency. In addition, the Nets have lost 10 of their last 12 games to fall out of the play-in zone in the Eastern Conference standings.

NY Knicks

If the Nets have been losing consistently of late, the Knicks have gained momentum. Tom Thibodeau's team has won 9 of the last 11 meetings and has secured a top-6 seed in the East - New York currently sits fifth in the conference with a 26-17 record. The Knicks have played their last four games at Madison Square Garden, losing to Orlando (94-98) but beating Houston (109-94), Washington (113-109) and Toronto (126-100).

Expert Betting Tips

With the trade of RJ Barrett for OG Anunoby, the Knicks appear to be getting stronger, including defense. The Nets have been struggling lately, so New York has a great chance to not only get another win but also not give up too much. We like the Knicks to win and Brooklyn to get upset.
