Knicks vs. Nets Game Info
New York Knicks (25-25, 11-15 Away) vs. Brooklyn Nets (34-16, 20-6 Home)
Date: Monday, April 5, 2021
Time: 7 p.m. EST
Venue: Barclays Center — Brooklyn, NY
Coverage: NBA TV
The Knicks had dropped three games in a row. However, like many teams this season, they used a matchup against the Pistons to get back on track. They won by over 40 points on Saturday and will hope to bring that momentum into this matchup against the in-state rivals. In just 30 minutes, Julius Randle led the team with 29 points and eight rebounds last game. Awesemo is projecting Randle to lead the team in scoring yet again.
Brooklyn has struggled to cover the spread recently, but they are still tied for the top spot in the Eastern Conference. They are, however, coming off a loss to the Chicago Bulls. They also could be without some top players tonight. While Kevin Durant may come back this week, he is doubtful for tonight. James Harden hurt his hamstring and missed last game. He is listed as questionable for tonight. Kyrie Irving led the Nets in Harden’s absence, scoring 24 points on a whopping 27 shot attempts. He failed to get to the line and he didn’t convert on a single three-point attempt. However, even if Harden plays, Awesemo is currently projecting Kyrie to lead the Nets in scoring tonight.

Knicks vs. Nets Prediction
The Knicks have played the Nets tough recently, covering the spread in five of their previous six matchups. With Harden being a major question mark tonight, it feels like a good time to take the team getting six points. The Knicks are 10-7 against the spread as road underdogs this season, whereas the Nets are 7-12 against the spread as home favorites. I expect both trends to continue.
Prediction: Knicks +6
