Knicks at Nets picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 114, Nets 106

Moneyline

PASS.

At -200 odds, there is no value on a hot Knicks squad to beat a struggling, banged-up Nets team.

Against the spread

BET KNICKS -5 (-110).

The Knicks have a 23-18-2 ATS record this season including a 7-3 ATS record in their last 10 games. They are also 3-1 ATS in their last 4 road games. Between Randle and Brunson, the Knicks have been a difficult team to stop recently. Each of their last 17 wins has been by 4 or more.

Brooklyn is just 2-7-1 ATS in its last 10 and has failed to cover in 5 of its last 6 games. Riddled with injuries, expect the Nets to struggle to stay afloat on Tuesday night.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 223 (-110).

The Knicks have a 19-24 Over record this season and have hit the Over just 1 time in their last 10 games. They have hit the Under in each of their last 5 overall and 3 of their last 4 on the road. They have held opponents to 109 points or fewer in 9 of their last 10 including each of their last 5. The Nets have hit the Under in 3 of their last 5 and have scored 114 or fewer in 7 of their last 10.
