The New York Knicks Team Preview!
Hey, so the New York Knicks have been kinda struggling lately, losing four out of their last six games. They must be eager to hit the court again after that tough loss to the Bulls, falling short by just one point in a heartbreaking 124-123 defeat at home on Wednesday. Karl-Anthony Towns really stood out with 46 points, 10 rebounds, three assists, and three steals.

The Knicks as a whole shot 51 percent from the field and made 15 of 37 three-pointers. They fought hard, coming back from a 22-point deficit to take the lead in the fourth quarter, only to lose it in the final 3.0 seconds after fouling Coby White, who hit the game-winning free throws for the Bulls. Tough break, but they'll bounce back!
The Brooklyn Nets vs New York Knicks
Game Prediction!
The Pick: The Nets +9.5 / ML
So, the Nets are missing a couple of guys like Bojan Bogdanovic and Trendon Watford, and the Knicks are watching Karl-Anthony Towns and Miles McBride who might not play. The Nets are kinda bummed after losing to the Celtics, but they were giving other teams a run for their money before that. On the flip side, the Knicks haven't been doing so hot lately and might be short-handed. All things considered, I think the Nets can keep it close, maybe even pull out the upset in this rivalry matchup.
