The Knicks have probably their best chance in a while of ending an 8-game losing streak in head-to-head meetings vs their cross-town rivals the Nets, as the two teams collide for the 2nd time this season. Tip-off from Barclays Center is at 5.30 pm ET on ABC, right after the Denver Nuggets vs Philadelphia 76ers game.

New York Knicks 1 – 10 Win Margin (+200)
With the latest injury to Ben Simmons, the Brooklyn Nets are basically a one man wrecking crew right now. All of their hopes lie in the hands of one man and that is Kyrie Irving. I'm not sure that'll work against one of the most consistent road teams in the NBA this season. The Knicks are 17-8 ATS away from home, they've covered the spread in 12 of their last 15 outings. They've also done well vs Brooklyn covering in 14 of the last 20 meetings, plus they come into tonight's game after a huge win at Boston the other night. They've now beaten 2 playoff teams from the East in back-to-back games, why not add a 3rd one? Brooklyn has struggled losing at Philadelphia and against a very bad Detroit team in their own building. Without Kevin Durant this team is nowhere near the one we saw climb up to 2nd place in the standings. I think it's time the Knicks finally end their losing streak in head-to-head meetings which has lasted for 8 games in a row.
