Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (-5.5) for Nets – 1.70.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Match Points Over 229.5 – 1.75.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Three – Nets Points Over 117.5 – 1.62.
The disappointment of the New York Knicks players is understandable, as they were very close to the play-in zone. Frankly, Derrick Rose and Kemba Walker were missing, although the former is still recovering from injury and the latter has a conflict with his head coach.
It’s also hard to say anything good about the Brooklyn Nets, but the club has stayed in the game and that’s good because the situation can still be salvaged. The Nets are ready to fight for a win in the New York derby.
We expect a real showdown at Madison Square Garden, as the rivals are unlikely to feel sorry for each other in the battle for New York.
The Nets have scored more than 117.5 points in three of their last five games.

The New York Knicks were never able to get a hold of the play-in zone, although the guys did their best near the end of the regular season. Much of the blame for the failure lies on the coach’s shoulders, as Tom Thibodeau initially made the difference between the players.
The New York Knicks beat the Orlando Magic (118-88) confidently in the last meeting, but this has had no effect on the overall picture. All the New Yorkers have to do is to finish a series of games and think about next season. However, they could have done much better with the current squad.
In the game against the Magic, RJ Barrett scored 27 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists.

The Brooklyn Nets showed perfectly with their example how a large number of stars in one place can lead to failure. James Harden proved useless for the team, while Kevin Durant became a key player in Steve Nash’s tactics and a true leader.
The Brooklyn Nets will be in contention for a playoff spot. Right now it can be said that the team is not in top form and may find it difficult in the near future. Of course, the New York derby is extremely important and the Nets would do well to prove themselves in this crucial encounter.
In the game against the Rockets, Kyrie Irving scored 42 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists.
