New York has won and covered both meetings this season, including 95-90 as a 2.5-point favorite on Feb. 1, even while shooting only 35.4 percent. Brooklyn has the worst record in the NBA at 11-53, and the Nets have won only three games since the end of December. Brooklyn is playing its first home game following an eight-game trip, which ended with a 105-96 loss at Dallas on Friday with Isaiah Whitehead scoring 24 points and Jeremy Lin adding 18 in a losing cause. New York looks to bounce back from a loss at Detroit Saturday night when Kristaps Porzingis led the Knicks with 18 points. Brooklyn allows 114.1 points per contest, and the Nets are 3-13 ATS their last 16 home games and 0-5 ATS their last five games against NBA Atlantic teams. Play the Knicks.
