New York Knicks vs Brooklyn Nets prediction
The New York Knicks have been a different team since the addition of OG Anunoby and that includes covers in 7 of their last 10 games. The Brooklyn Nets have been free-falling over the last month, and they’re no longer covering numbers. Once a covering machine, the Nets are now just 20-20-2 ATS on the season. The Knicks have won and covered the last 3 games against the Nets. You can make an argument the Knicks should be steeper favorites over the Nets. This is two teams heading in different directions. I’ll lay the chalk with the Knicks.
