New York Knicks vs. Nets: Betting Odds
New York has been a team in transition for a few seasons now but looks to be improving with time. A group of young players seems to be gelling together quite well, which is reflective of this season. However, they still have a long way to go before they can challenge teams for the playoffs.
They have managed wins against the Detroit Pistons (130-105), the Orlando Magic (115-102), the Charlotte Hornets (134-131), the Philadelphia 76ers (106-104), and the Minnesota Timberwolves (120-107) and will now look to register their sixth win when they face Brooklyn tonight.
The Brooklyn Nets are struggling to find some ground as their performances lack consistency. They have four wins and eleven losses so far. Except for Kevin Durant, no other player has managed to step up for the team on a regular basis. Their home record has been terrible at 2-4 as well as their away record at 2-3.
