Brooklyn Nets vs New York Knicks preview

The Nets are firmly in the midst of a rebuild, and their 5-8 start isn’t surprising. While they lost to the Knicks on Friday, they kept it close and even led with seven seconds left on the clock. However, Brunson connected on a clutch 3-pointer to give the home team a victory.

While Brooklyn isn’t expected to contend for a playoff spot this season, it has recorded a few good wins against the Milwaukee Bucks, Memphis Grizzlies and New Orleans Pelicans.

The Knicks, meanwhile, are one of the championship contenders in the East after trading for Karl-Anthony Towns. However, the two are yet to elevate New York’s play, as the team has not yet stitched together a run of more than two wins.

In fact, in 12 games so far, the Knicks have won two straight games just once. This is a concerning stat that Brunson and Co. will try to fix at the earliest.

Brooklyn Nets vs New York Knicks prediction

The Knicks are heavily favored to win at home. However, if Friday’s game was any indication, the Nets are not giving up any easy wins this season. While New York should win, it could struggle to cover the spread. This should be a high-scoring game with the team total going past 219 points.
