New York at Brooklyn

The New York Knicks have apparently changed their identity in terms of what it is going to take for them to be competitive, and what it will take to win. Yes, they have Melo who can score with the best of them, but there are simply not a lot of other consistent scoring options in the rotation. The Knicks have decided to focus their energy on the defensive end of the court, and the result has been just one time has an opponent reached the 100-point mark, and it took 50.7% shooting to get there as Chicago posted 104. After a shootout with Boston in their opener, Brooklyn has not allowed an opponent to get to the 100-point mark since, and this game appears like it will be played in the half court. The Nets have seemed to go that way when they have faced a team with a losing record as they are 11-5 to the UNDER in their last 16. This series has also played out that way, with 15 of the last 22 meetings falling shy of the total. Play on the UNDER.
