The Nets have been one of if not THE biggest disappointments in the league and after a horrid start they have started winning and have won 7 of their last 10 games.

Earlier this season in Brooklyn the Knicks crushed the Nets 113-83.

The Knicks have been ice cold shooting the rock from deep with a 3-pt FG% of 28.8% in their 3-game losing streak and in their loss to the Clippers they only shot 34.9% from the field.

The Knicks do have a good defense ranking 10th in the league in opponents points allowed, but their offense only ranks 25th in the league in scoring. Carmelo Anthony is still lighting it up scoring over 26 ppg, but he needs help on offense and no other New York player is averaging over 14 ppg.
[ad-6571516]
The Nets had a balanced offensive attack in their win over the Nets and they have 4 players averaging in double figures.

In the earlier loss to the Knicks Paul Pierce and Deron Williams did not play, but they will in this match up. Williams will be in the lineup even though he has missed the last 5 games with an injury.

The Knicks need to keep a hot Joe Johnson in check in this game, as in his last 5 he has scored at least 23 ppg in each one.

Betting Trends

The Nets are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall, 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a losing S.U. record, and they have an Under record of 9-4 in their last 13 vs. a team with a losing S.U. record.

The Knicks are 5-15 ATS in their last 20 home games, 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall, and they have an Under record of 4-1 in their last 5 games.

In the last 4 games between these 2 teams in New York the total has gone Under every time.

Jason’s Pick: I have to go with the Nets in this one, as they are playing well in the last 10 games and New York simply is a team that does not have enough talent around Melo to win on a consistent basis.
