Brooklyn Nets vs New York Knicks Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Joseph King | in NBA Prediction
A battle for the Big Apple in the NBA sees the Brooklyn Nets hosting the New York Knicks at the Barclays Center on Wednesday. Both teams have experienced rocky starts to the 2022/23 season, although it is the Nets that have undoubtedly been the bigger disappointment of the two squads. The Nets are just 4-7 on the year following a down to the wire loss against Luka Doncic’s Mavericks in their last outing while the Knicks were able to overcome the TWolves to move up to .500 on the season with a 5-5 record.

Brooklyn Nets - New York Knicks: Form Analysis
Despite early struggles, the Nets have shown an improved run of form in the past week, most notably since the suspension of Kyrie Irving. The Nets are 2-1 during that time and 3-0 against the spread with their only loss coming in a 96-94 loss to the favored Mavericks. However, their two wins did come against the Wizards and Hornets – two teams with sub .500 records as well. For the Knicks, a double-digit 120-107 win against a solid TWolves team will come as a big lift after giving up 133 points to the Celtics in a loss the previous game. Despite the .500 record, the Knicks have faced a very difficult run of games with their last six outings all coming against playoff teams from the previous season.

Brooklyn Nets & New York Knicks Squad Analysis
Kyrie Irvings suspension is the big talking point for Brooklyn and any team will miss the prolific guard's scoring output. The 30-year-old is averaging 26.9 points per game this season in his eight games played. Without Irving, even more of the onus falls upon the shoulders of Kevin Durant to provide enough scoring to keep his Nets team in the game. Durant has been up to the task so far this year, averaging 31 points – the second highest mark in his career, on almost 52% shooting.
Brooklyn Nets - New York Knicks Key Points
- The Knicks rank second best in opponent field goal percentage at 43.5% and 14th in defensive efficiency this season.

Our Brooklyn Nets vs New York Knicks Prediction
We’re going to back the New York Knicks to keep this game close and take them on the +2.5 point spread. There’s definitely some value here, as a lack of any real home court advantage should make this line closer to a pick'em. The Knicks recent stretch of results doesn’t look impressive, managing only two wins in their last six, but they’ve been competitive in all of their games against some elite competition. With the way both squads are playing at the moment, the Knicks are the more likely of the two to grind out a victory here.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
