Brooklyn Nets vs. New York Knicks Predictions

After finishing fourth in the East with a record of 41-31 SU last year, New York briefly kept that same ball rolling with another solid start to this season, as the Knicks opened with a sturdy 11-9 SU and 9-11 ATS run– while tallying 106.3 OPPG and allowing just 106.1 DPPG during that timeframe.

However, New York has looked like a shell of that squad since the closing days of November, considering the Knicks enter Wednesday riding a miserable 24-35 SU skid – while ranking 27^th in the league in scoring and 23^rd in offensive efficiency across that window (106.5 OPPG, 1.069 OE).

On the other hand, Brooklyn also posted an excellent start to the season, as the Nets opened with an impressive 26-14 SU run – with 15 of those victories coming by eight points or more.

The Nets have been incredibly inconsistent since trading away James Harden though, considering Brooklyn enters Wednesday riding a head-scratching 14-24 SU skid – while tallying 113.1 OPPG and surrendering 116.4 DPPG during that timeframe.

I’ll back Brooklyn here, as the Knicks are 10-12 SU and 11-11 ATS in their last 22 games, while scoring just 111.2 OPPG and surrendering 108.9 DPPG during that span – setting the stage for an unfavorable home matchup against a Nets squad that’s averaging 121.4 OPPG across their latest 8-5 SU stretch.

Brooklyn Nets Betting Analysis

SU: 40-38
ATS: 31-45-2
O/U: 39-38-1

After a heartbreaking Game 7 loss in last year’s Eastern Conference Finals, the Nets bounced back with an excellent start to this season, as Brooklyn cruised into January boasting a 26-14 SU record – yet still ranked near the bottom of the barrel ATS across that window with a record of 17-22-1 ATS.

However, Brooklyn completely fell apart during KD’s latest 20-game absence, considering the Nets enter Wednesday riding a frustrating 14-24 SU skid, which includes an 8-14 SU tally in matchups with Kyrie Irving – and a 6-10 SU mark in efforts without him.

New York Knicks Betting Analysis

SU: 35-44
ATS: 37-42
O/U: 40-39

The Knicks seemingly caught the entire conference by surprise last season, as New York finished fourth in the East with a sturdy record of 41-31 SU, before inevitably getting outmatched from top-to-bottom by Atlanta in a quick five-game set to open the playoffs.

The Knicks haven’t caught anybody off guard this year though, considering New York ranks 11^th in the East straight-up and tenth against the spread with records of 35-44 SU and 37-42 ATS – despite getting tagged as favorites in 37 matchups over the course of the season.

Brooklyn Nets vs. New York Knicks Head-to-Head

The Nets swept a three-game regular-season set against New York last year, with all three matchups soaring over the total at an average of 226.7 PPG. Brooklyn is also 3-0 SU against New York this season, with their first two matchups cruising over the total at an average of 219.5 PPG – while their most recent affair stayed under with a score of 110-107 (U 224).

Key Players to Watch

BKN: Kyrie Irving - PG (27.1 PPG, 4.1 REB, 5.6 AST)
BKN: Kevin Durant - SF (30.1 PPG, 7.3 REB, 6.1 AST)
NYK: RJ Barrett - SG (20.1 PPG, 5.9 REB, 2.9 AST)
NYK: Evan Fournier - SF (14.2 PPG, 2.6 REB, 2.1 AST)

Brooklyn Nets vs. New York Knicks Betting Conclusion

After stomping the Magic in Orlando on Sunday night (W, 118-88), the Knicks return home for Wednesday’s contest as relatively steep underdogs against the Nets at Madison Square Garden – marking the seventh time New York has been an underdog across their last ten games.

I’ll back Brooklyn here, as the Nets are 8-5 SU and 6-7 ATS in their last 13 games, while generating 121.4 OPPG and allowing just 114.5 DPPG during that span – likely presenting an uphill battle for a Knicks squad that’s averaging 111.2 OPPG across their latest 10-12 SU skid.
