Brooklyn Nets vs New York Knicks Prediction
The Nets are still playing without Cam Thomas and Haywood Highsmith, while the Knicks don’t have any players listed on the injury report. The Nets have been ice-cold to start the season, and their confidence took another gut shot after getting trampled by the Pistons in their last outing. It’s hard to picture anything but a comfortable win for the Knicks at home, but given the rivalry, I can see the Nets getting off to a hot start and doing enough to get a backdoor cover here.
