The stage is set for the battle of New York as the Brooklyn Nets travel to Madison Square Garden to face off with the Knicks. You can catch the game live on ESPN from 7:30 pm ET, and I’ve prepared a same-game parlay which is available below.
Don’t forget to check our predictions on the side and total for the rest of Wednesday’s 11-game slate, but let’s dive into the Nets vs Knicks matchup first!
Brooklyn Nets 1-10 win margin (+270)
Evan Fournier over 3.5 made threes (+114)
Seth Curry to score 20+ points (+180)
Parlay odds: +1846
Brooklyn Nets 1-10 win margin (+270)
The Brooklyn Nets’ long losing streak is no more after they beat the Sacramento Kings 109-84 at home on Monday. New acquisitions Seth Curry and Andre Drummond made an instant impact, while LaMarcus Aldridge returned from a long layoff with 19 points off the bench. Now the Nets are looking to win their 5th straight game against the Knicks. Last season they swept the regular-season series and all 3 games were decided by single digits, while the 1st meeting this season finished 112-110. Brooklyn is 8-2 SU in the last 10 meetings and with the Knicks recording just 2 win in their last 11 games they have every right to hope for a win tonight. The fact that RJ Barrett will be out for New York also helps our bet.

Evan Fournier over 3.5 made threes (+114)
Evan Fournier let down my last same game parlay which involved the Knicks, so we’re looking for a bit of redemption. He’s averaging 18.7 points per game over his last 10 outings while shooting 42% from the 3-point line. In the loss against Oklahoma City he finished with 6 made threes and in February he has gone over 3.5 made in 5 of 7 games. He’s making 4.4 per game this month while attempting almost 11 shots. With Barrett out he will get his attempts once again, and hopefully he can make amends for his 1-for-10 performance at Portland a couple of games back.
Seth Curry to score 20+ points (+180)
Seth Curry had a dream debut for the Nets on Monday as he drained 23 points on 10-for-18 shooting to end Brooklyn’s 11-game losing streak. He also had 7 rebounds and 5 assists in that game, showing just how much the Nets are counting on him, at least until they get their big 3 back into the lineup. This is a road game for the Nets, but since it’s being played in New York that means Kyrie Irving will not participate. Ben Simmons is still not expected to make his debut and Kevin Durant will return after the all-star break. That means plenty of shots to go around for Curry, Patty Mills and the rest of the Nets’ reserves. I’m expecting Curry to put on a show at MSG and finish with at least 20 points tonight, leading his Nets to a victory.
