The New York Knicks (15-11) take on the Brooklyn Nets (13-13) Wednesday with tip-off from Barclays Center set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's lines around the Knicks vs. Nets odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting; tied 2-2 last season

The Knicks have alternated wins and losses over the last 6 with the latest being a 114-109 win over the Los Angeles Lakers Monday. They were 5-point underdogs as they covered on the road. The Knicks are just 8-8 on the road this season, but this isn't much of a road game in Brooklyn.

The Nets lost 4 of 5 on a West Coast road trip culminated by a 125-108 loss to the Utah Jazz as 3-point favorites Monday. They are just 5-8 on the road but are 8-5 at home. G Cam Thomas is heating up with 41 and 32 points in the last 2 games with 5 three-pointers in each.

Knicks at Nets picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 124, Nets 121

Moneyline

I like the Knicks in this quasi-home game, but it's cheaper to lay the points.

I like MIKAL BRIDGES UNDER 21.5 POINTS (-115) in this one. He has averaged just 13.3 points per game over the last 3 games while shooting just 13-for-41 (31.7%). He also averaged just 12.8 PPG in 4 games against the Knicks last year.

Against the spread

Take the KNICKS -1.5 (-105) here. They won the last 2 games against Brooklyn after the team shifted from F Kevin Durant and G Kyrie Irving last year. G Jalen Brunson has gone for at least 20 points in 9 straight games as he has taken his game to the next level.

Over/Under

The Knicks are 8-2 O/U over the last 10, and the Nets are 4-5-1. The last 3 meetings between the teams have gone Over. The Nets are going to be feisty coming off a miserable 5-game road trip, and the Knicks have enough to keep up. Brunson is a ridiculous 14-for-20 (70%) from 3-point land the last 3 games.

Take the OVER 233.5 (-110).
