Point Spread Pick
BKN Nets +13.5(-110)

Rivalry games aren’t played on paper, and this one is a perfect example. The Knicks enter with the superior record, the cleaner resumé and all the momentum of a team that expects to contend deep into the postseason. Brooklyn, meanwhile, looks like it’s headed for another lottery-bound campaign at 3-13. But when the “Battle of New York” tips off, the dynamic shifts entirely.

The Knicks have dominated this series recently, but domination creates inflation — and inflation creates opportunity. This number sits above 13 points, not because New York is certain to route Brooklyn but because the market is assuming the Nets will roll over. That assumption often becomes the most dangerous one you can make in a rivalry setting. Brooklyn may be flawed, but it isn’t devoid of pride — and these are the very games where struggling teams show their best effort. The Nets don’t need to win, don’t even need to be impressive — they simply need to compete with energy, execute well enough for stretches and avoid the catastrophic quarter that fuels blowouts. With a number this large, competence alone keeps the ticket live. The Knicks might take the victory, but the inflated spread invites action on Brooklyn. The ‘dog has value because this ‘dog could have teeth.

Knicks vs Nets prediction: Brooklyn +13.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable to +13.
