The Nets are coming into this game with a 34-26 record overall and they are 18-11 in their home games this season where they will be in this game.

The current betting odds have the Knicks listed as a 7 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Knicks have been having a great season with their 36-27 record overall and they have really been starting to get hot lately as they are climbing up the standings in recent weeks. They have even been great in their road games this year as they are 18-12 and have actually lost less games on the road than at home. The Nets have also been having a good year with their 34-26 record overall but they have been starting to fall down the standings lately as they traded away a lot of their talent before the deadline and now have a significantly weaker team than before. They are 18-11 in their home games this season but they have lost 2 games in a row now and are playing this game on a back-to-back which puts them at a much bigger disadvantage. The Knicks are getting hot now as they have won 6 games in a row and they are going to be rested for this game too. The best way to place a bet here is on the Knicks to cover the spread in this game.
