Knicks vs. Nets Game Info
New York Knicks (20-19, 9-12 Away) vs. Brooklyn Nets (26-13, 15-6 Home)
Date: Monday, March 15, 2021
Time: 8 p.m. EST
Venue: Barclays Center — Brooklyn, N.Y.
Coverage: ESPN
The Knicks have been one of the biggest surprises of the NBA season, as they have been competitive in the Eastern Conference. The recipe to success for New York is defense. They are ranked fifth in defensive efficiency at 107.0. However, they are 23rd in offensive efficiency (106.7). Julius Randle has continued his development into one of the better players in the league. He has averaged 22.9 points, 11.0 rebounds and 5.7 assists this season.
The Nets are the newest super team. However, Blake Griffin will not be making his team debut tonight, and Kevin Durant is still out injured. It has not slowed the Nets down much this season, as they have won 12 of the last 13 games. James Harden led the team to victory last game, putting up a 24-point triple-double. He has been the true leader with Durant out.

Knicks vs. Nets NBA Picks | Total
Much like the point spread, those making NBA betting picks for the total in tonight’s Knicks – Nets game should be a bit selective. Those interested in betting the total over will find the best value at SugarHouse, DraftKings and William Hill in the form of an over 223 (-110) ticket. On the contrary, those looking to bet the Knicks – Nets total under should aim to do so at BetMGM or FanDuel, with a line of 223.5 (-110).
Knicks vs. Nets Prediction
The Nets are capable of playing defense when they want to. I don’t think the Knicks are able to just turn up their offense in a similar way. The Nets should defend their home court and prove they are the best team in New York, as they did when they won earlier this season on the road.
Prediction: Nets -8
