Brooklyn Nets vs New York Knicks Best Bet: Can the Nets Finish Strong?
Brooklyn Nets vs New York Knicks Best Bet: Can the Nets Finish Strong?
The Brooklyn nets have been a very different team on the road versus at home this season. This is partly because, for a large part of the season, Kyrie Irving was unable to play in their home games due to New York's vaccination laws so one of their best players could not play in any of their home games. While he was unable to play in home games, he was allowed to play in games on the road and this is where the Nets have thrived over the past few months. The Nets are currently tied in record with the Atlanta Hawks at 41-38 and they really need to win their final 3 games to secure home court for the play-in-game.

In tonight's contest, they face a Knicks team who had a very disappointing season and are eliminated from playoff contention. Julius Randle is likely out for this game and many players such as Obi Toppin and Immanuel Quickley have seen their minutes increase now that the Knicks have nothing to play for. We saw the Knicks get absolutely obliterated by the Cavs in a similar situation as this game just a few days ago. The Cavs are also battling for position and have everything to play for while the Knicks were already eliminated prior to that contest, and it really showed as the Cavs had more urgency from the opening tip. The Cavs ended up beating the Knicks by 18 in that game and the Knicks never led.

The Nets will also get Seth Curry back for this matchup who is very key for the Nets' offense as he is an excellent 3-point shooter and can really stretch the floor if the defense is collapsing on KD or Kyrie. I expect KD to have a huge game, as well as the Knicks, don't have anyone capable of slowing him down on the offensive end and I also expect Kyrie Irving to build off of his last performance where he had 42 points on 54% shooting against the Rockets. With that being said, I am rolling with Nets -5 at -108 for 1U as my most confident NBA play of the night as I think the Nets take care of business tonight and leave MSG with a solid win.
