This is a 10* on OVER

Eight of the last nine times these NY rivals have met, the game has gone Under the total. But the one exception was the last time they played, back in January, as the Nets won 116-109 in MSG. That was right before James Harden joined the Nets. With Harden in the fold, Brooklyn has become the most prolific scoring team in the NBA. They average 120.6 points/game and go Over with tremendous regularity. They are 25-14 Over in all games this season and that’s with six of the last nine staying Under. Saturday saw them get held under 110 points for just the 8th time all season, but they still managed to defeat Detroit 100-95. Even without Kevin Durant, the Nets still continue to score in bunches. The Knicks last four games have gone Over due to their own uptick in scoring (scored 119 in a win over OKC on Sat) and some poor defensive efforts (allowed 134 to Milwaukee on Thursday). We’ll look for a combination of the two tonight as the Over is 20-7 in games where Brooklyn is the favorite. After the subpar shooting effort vs. the Pistons, the Nets should score a ton tonight. Play on OVER
