New Orleans at New York

New York owns a 23-10 ATS advantage in this series (13-4 ATS in games held here in New York). Larry Brown had seemed to have turned the corner, reeling off six straight wins in early January. But, the Knicks have dropped their last four. New Orleans had won four straight before falling by 11 last night in Washington. I like New York here with the extra day of rest. I expect Brown to have his guys ready after such an embarrasing loss (lost by 26 to Detroit). Favorites after losing by 20+ points vs. a team that allowed 105+ points last game are 44-16 (73%) ATS over the last 5 seasons. Two stars on the motivated Knicks at home.
