LOSS

The Nets are clicking right now and get points in this one? New Jersey just beat the Cavaliers and they lead the league in scoring at 121.2 per game. Meanwhile, the Knicks are 0-3, scoring near last in the league at just 93.3 per game. The math on that? That's 27.9 points per game difference. And New York is favored? Sure, the Nets defense is terrible, but New York's is also pretty atrocious, allowing 109 per contest. Jeff Hornacek has really struggled to coach his team to wins in games with expected high scoring. In games with a total of 220+, his teams are 0-9 ATS. Dating back to last season, the Knicks are just 7-15 straight-up when facing bad defensive teams (those allowing 106+ per game). They are also just 12-27 straight-up over that span after a road game. And, this is much like a home game for the Nets. Take the points on the road team here.
