Preview

Brooklyn Nets will meet New York Knicks Wednesday at the MSG, Nets have won the first game between them at home (112-110) in a thrilling game which ended with J.Johnson free throws at last seconds.

New York Knicks are having their worst run all season losing 12 of last 15 games straight up and 2-8 ATS last 10 games after losing to the Thunder as 10 points favourite (127-123) and losing to the Blazers as 4.5 points favourite in the last 2 games, it will be hard to trust the Knicks as 5.5 point favourites here! On the other hand the Nets have been ok a horrible run of 11 losses before they finally bounce back in the debut of Seth Curry and A.Drummond Vs the Kings (109-85) even though they were missing Kyrie Irving because it was a home game. Nets are in good spirits after the trade and getting Curry, Drummond and Simmons for James Harden and Millsap in a trade that benefits both teams in my opinion. I think the line is wrong here as the Knicks can't be more than 5 point favourites Vs any team with their current form. I like the Nets here.

Ben Simmons, Joe Harris and Kevin Durant are still out for the Nets and Kyrie Irving is questionable.

Nerlens Noel, RJ Barrett and Derrick Rose are still out for the Knicks

Head to Head

Brooklyn Nets have dominated this matchup as of late winning 8 of last 10 games while the Knicks only won 2 of them, Although the Knicks have covered 7 game ATS so it have been close wins for the Nets Over the Knicks, I think Brooklyn keeps the streak here and win this game. The O/U is 4-6 with the Nets scoring average of 107.5 points and the Knicks scoring average of 106 points.

Prediction

I like Kyrie, Mills and Curry to make it close at least here, I think they win straight up tonight and go on a winning streak after their bad run lately, but we will play it safe and take the nets plus the points.

Pick: Nets +5.5 (-110)
