New York Knicks at Brooklyn Nets Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
For both times in general, the ship has sailed on their respective seasons as the Knicks have been marred with disappointment while Brooklyn pieced together one of the worst seasons in franchise history. Both squads enter on a two-game skid and this game can be treated as one for pride and bragging rights more than anything else. Both Brooklyn and New York feature two of the worst scoring defenses in the NBA as the Nets are ranked dead last at 30th overall, with the Knicks not too far ahead at 25th in scoring defense. Both teams are also fairly inefficient in field goal shooting as well, as the Knicks shoot 44.8% overall (21st in the NBA) while the Nets hit 44.5% of their attempts (23rd in the NBA).

New York Knicks at Brooklyn Nets Prediction
The Nets are coming back from a long road trip that covered almost all of the country. In their last ten, the Nets have gone 2-8 SU and are assuredly delighted to take their own court. Though the Nets have won only 11 games this season, seven of their victories came at the Barclay’s Center. The Knicks have not fared well outside of Madison Square Garden as they are 11-23 SU away from the World’s Greatest Arena. With the Nets looking to take something away from this season, expect Brooklyn to rise up on their own court against an arch nemesis to take Big Apple bragging rights. With both teams offering accommodating defenses in terms of scoring, expect this one to be a high scoring affair. Brooklyn’s offense ignited for 122 points against Memphis. Chances are they will go to this blueprint to find success against a much easier to combat Knicks defense.
Free Pick:
Take Brooklyn -105 and Over 221.5
