π° Nets vs. Knicks best bet: Knicks bounce back while covering -11.5 (-110) βββββ
Check out all of our NBA analysis and expert predictions this season.
The Knicks have owned the Nets recently, going 2-0-1 ATS against Brooklyn in the last three meetings.
The Knicks were just a 10-point favorite on Tuesday night but have since been bet up to -12 at some of the best sports betting sites. This is a great bounce-back spot for New York, as it is not only facing a team it has dominated recently but it is also coming off a players-only meeting called by Jalen Brunson after losing to the Dallas Mavericks on MLK Day. Donβt overreact to recent losses.
π₯ Nets vs. Knicks prop picks
Jalen Brunson leads Knicks with 26+ points (-125) ββββ
Not only did Brunson score 27 the last time he faced the Nets (Nov. 24), but he also called the Knicks' players-only meeting, so he should lead by example tonight.
He has scored 26 or more points in nine of his last 13 games, and while seven of those games were losses, it at least shows that he's far from being in a slump. He also made 10 of 19 from the field and 4 of 9 from beyond the arc the last time he faced Brooklyn, giving him reason to be confident in tonight's bounce-back opportunity.
Karl-Anthony Towns stays dominant on the glass with 12+ rebounds (+104) βββ
What a perfect number - Towns has grabbed 12 rebounds in each of the first two meetings between these teams.
And it's not like he's been slacking lately, either. Towns has grabbed 18 or more rebounds in two of his last three games, making him a strong candidate for a ladder bet. With the Knicks facing a Nets team that ranks second-to-last in shooting percentage at 44.8%, expect Towns to be dominant on the glass once again.
