The Brooklyn Nets and the New York Knicks are set to face off for the second time in as many games, this time in a regular NBA matchup at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, November 17. The previous encounter saw the Knicks edge out the Nets 124-122, thanks to a game-winning three-pointer by Jalen Brunson and a crucial block by Mikal Bridges.

The Knicks are currently favored by 9.5 points, with moneyline odds of -455 for the Knicks and +350 for the Nets. The total points line is set at 219.5, with the over at -112 and the under at -108.

The Nets, despite their 5-8 record, have shown resilience and have been successful against the spread, going 10-3 ATS this season. They nearly pulled off an upset on Friday with a 40-point fourth quarter, but ultimately fell short. Cam Thomas was a standout performer, scoring 43 points, and he is expected to continue his strong form.

The Knicks, with a 6-6 record, have dominated the head-to-head series recently, winning seven straight games against the Nets. However, they may be without key players Karl-Anthony Towns and Miles McBride, who are listed as questionable due to injuries.

Josh Hart has been a significant contributor for the Knicks, averaging 13.2 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game. He is expected to play a crucial role, especially given the Knicks’ injury issues.

For betting enthusiasts, prop bets such as Cam Thomas to score over 23.5 points and Josh Hart to have over 15.5 rebounds and assists are highlighted as promising options.

The game promises to be another intense matchup between the two New York teams, with the Nets looking to break their losing streak against the Knicks and the Knicks aiming to extend their dominance in the series.
