The Battle of the Boroughs gets its second iteration of the season on Saturday evening, and it’s gets the early evening ABC slot to boot. The NBA was hoping that Kevin Durant would be around for this showdown, but with Kyrie Irving and a pair of potential All-Stars in New York — in the form of Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson — plenty of stars will still be out at Barclays Center.
The Knicks come into this game feeling confident after back-to-back wins. It might not sound like much, but wins over the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics ended a mini four-game losing streak and proved that the Knicks can hang with the big boys of the East.
Brooklyn has seen its fortunes turn the other way, with a two-game losing skid on the books, including a home loss to the Detroit Pistons the last time out that was among their worst losses all season. The team is also quite nicked up, with Durant (obviously) sidelined, T.J. Warren doubtful, Ben Simmons and Day-Ron Sharpe questionable, and Edmond Sumner probable.
The game opened at a near pick’em, with a bit of a move to Brooklyn so far, but I’ll be looking towards a derivative market that has proven profitable this season. Let’s take a look a the Knicks vs. Nets odds.
