Nets vs Knicks Prediction
The NY Knicks have the ability to blow the doors off, and they’ve won eight straight games against the Nets. And while this is a lot of points for a Knicks team that’s on the end of a back-to-back, they’ve covered seven of their last 10 games as a double-digit favorite. The Brooklyn Nets are banged up, and they’re 1-6 ATS in their last seven games as a double-digit underdog. The Nets used to compete and play hard, but now it appears to be tanking season, as the losses are getting uglier and the injury list is getting longer. Give me the Knicks to cover another double-digit spread.
