New York at Brooklyn

The New York Knicks and the Brooklyn Nets are a natural rivalry and a short bus trip away from each other. The problem recently has been the lack of playoff-caliber talent on either team. Neither team is a projected playoff team once again this season and the Knicks have a big disadvantage to start the season as Kristaps Porzinga is still on the sidelines, rehabbing a torn ACL. The Knicks have won and covered four straight in this series but without Porzinga they will struggle here. Back Brooklyn.
