They both are coming off losses and need to get a win to get their seasons’ back on track.

Brooklyn

The Nets enter this contest off an 18-point blowout loss to the Bulls and dropping two of their last three. Coach Lionel Hollins has been experimenting with the line-up, interchanging veterans to improve their shooting percentage.

[dfads params=’groups=63742&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

Brooklyn is shooting 29.3% behind the 3-point line, which ranks third last in the league.

The Nets are led by veterans Deron Williams, Kevin Garnett, and Joe Johnson. Last game they shot a miserable 2-14 from three and sharpshooter Joe Johnson shot 1 for 7.

Interior passing has been the Nets biggest strength thus far. Power forward Kevin Garnett and center Brook Lopez are mostly responsible for this, they both have been excellent passers throughout their career. The Nets average 20.2 touches within 12 feet of the hoop which puts them in the top five.

[dfads params=’groups=63727&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

Despite the good ball movement, the Nets are only averaging 98.9 points per game. In order for the team to score more and win, point guard Deron Williams needs to shoot the ball well.

New York

The Knicks are led by rookie head coach Derek Fisher. Fisher is faced with the challenge of implementing the triangle offense.

Star small forward Carmelo Anthony is averaging 23.7 points per game, which is down from his previous season total. New York has really been struggling to learn the new offense, they only average 93.4 points per game. Similar to the Nets, the Knicks do not have a problem moving the ball.

They average 362.3 passes per contest, which is good for second in the league. The back court of Shumpert and Calderon average a total of about 20 points per game, which is not a good number based on their shooting abilities.

The Knicks front court is missing center Andrea Bargnani due to a hamstring injury, which has proved to be a significant loss.

New York has oddly shot the ball much better on the road as opposed to playing at Madison Square Garden. Last home game against the Heat, the Knicks shot 3 for 24 from behind the arc.

[dfads params=’groups=63741&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

To win games this year, the Knicks will need to get big performances out of Carmelo Anthony and sixth man J.R. Smith.

NBA Handicapping Trends:

  • Knicks are 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games.
  • Nets are 9-4-1 ATS in their last 14 Tuesday games.
  • Under is 4-0 in Nets last four overall.
  • Under is 12-2 in last 14 games in New York.

NBA Gambling Prediction

The Knicks will struggle to score in the new triangle offense. Carmelo Anthony’s back is still bothering him, but he still will not hesitate to put up all his shots. New York will struggle to defend the front line of Brooklyn and the absence of Bargnani will be apparent.

Free 4* NBA Betting Pick: Brooklyn -1

Expect a big game from Deron Williams and Joe Johnson to get his shooting back on track.

Brooklyn 101, New York 88

Brooklyn will take advantage of the point guard matchup and Kevin Garnett will thrive in the post.

ATS Matchup Stats | Gambling Insight!

This season the Knicks are 12-18 at home and the Mavs are 16-14 on the road.

In their last games the Mavs beat the Detroit Pistons 113-102 and the Knicks lost to the Atlanta Hawks 107-98.

The Mavs have been playing well, as they have won 2 in a row and are 8-2 in their last 10 games. They look to avenge an earlier home loss this season the Knicks where the Dallas offense struggled only scoring 80 points. The Mavs have had no problems with their offense in their last 2 games averaging 118.5 ppg on 55.1% shooting.

While the Mavs have been hot the Knicks have lost 2 in a row and 8 of their last 10 games. They lost to the Hawks in their last game where Atlanta snapped an 8-game losing streak.

Carmelo Anthony had a big game against the Hawks going for 35 points, but he did not get much help. That has been the case lately, as in their last 10 games Melo has averaged 31.3 ppg while the next leading scorer in that span is Tim Hardaway Jr. averaging 11.9 ppg.

In the Atlanta game Melo shot over 50% from the floor, but as a team the Knicks only shot a FG% of 40.6%.

While Melo hs not gotten much help the same cannot be said about Dallas leading scorer Dirk Nowitzki. He is averaging 24.5 ppg in his last 12 games and in the win over the Pistons in Dallas’ last game every starter scored in double figures.
[ad-6571516]
The Knicks have won their last 2 home games against the Mavs and in the earlier meeting this season in Dallas they held Nowitzki to 18 points.

Besides Melo the Knicks have 4 other players averaging in double figures and those guys need to step up tonight and help out on the offensive side of the court.

Betting Trends

The Mavericks are 40-15 ATS in their last 55 road games, 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following a S.U. win, and they have an Over record of 4-1 in their last 5 games.

The Knicks are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games overall, 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record, and they have an Over record of 5-1 in their last 6 games.

The home team is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 games between these 2 teams.

In the last 5 games between these 2 teams in New York the total has gone Over 4 times.

Jason’s Pick:

The Knicks are a mess while the Mavs are playing well and they will play well again winning in the Big Apple and covering the spread.

ATS Matchup Insight | CP Insider Gambling Preview

Houston

They come to New York on the heels of a trip to Philadelphia, a short jaunt up to the northeast with back to back games but this team should be up for it. Houston is an interesting team that should be getting better with every game as they adjust to having a dominant post player in Dwight Howard.

Check out our in-house Handicapper!!! Buy Razor Ray’s NBA Picks!

Even though the Rockets now have a defensive presence in Howard they are actualy not very good at stopping opponents from putting the ball in the backet – 25th in points allowed. Fortunately the are good at scoring with an amazing 4 players averaging more than 15ppg so far.

They are also the top rebounding team in the league so the Knicks will have two of their primary weaknesses to be exploited.

Houston has been getting a lot of buzz but that has probably decreased their value to bettors as the more a team becomes public the harder it is isolate those high value opportunities. Still this one at -3.5 seems like a good number for a high scoring team against one missing its main defensive presence.
[ad-6571516]
This one should zoom over the total too.

New York

The Knicks look like they are in trouble. The have a losing record so far and their free wheeling attack is not producing all that many points as they are just 25th in scoring. In addition to that they have almost no presence in the paint either offensively or defensively with Tyson Chandler out and Amare Stoudemire not giving them all that much.

It is only a couple of weeks in but they have way more questions than answers.

Nobody is really playing well right now for New York, not even Carmelo Anthony whose scoring is down by 5 points per game this season over last. He is having the worst shooting season of his career in part because the other threats on the team really aren’t. One pleasant surprise is the play of mercurial Metta World Peace.

He is shooting at a record pace for him which would be great in a more secondary role. This team is seriously flawed and it is hard to see how they thought they were a contender.

As long as Chandler is out I think you can bet the over with confidence. In fact their last 4 games have gone over the total.

When their shots are falling New York can stay in the game but even when they aren’t their weakened defense can get you to the total you need , witness the 120 points they allowed to San Antonio last weekend.

Spread Pick: Houston -3.5
O/U Pick: Over
Score Prediction: Houston 108 – New York 99
