Why the Knicks can cover

It’s been a seesaw season thus far for the Knicks, who haven’t won or lost more than two games in a row in 2024-25. However, they’re coming off a 124-122 win over the Nets at Madison Square Garden on Friday where Jalen Brunson had 37 points and seven assists.

OG Anunoby had 25 points and Mikal Bridges scored 22 points in the win to help make up for the fact that Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) did not play. Josh Hart also stuffed the stat sheet with 14 points, nine rebounds and nine assists. Towns is listed as questionable to return to action on Sunday night but the Knicks still have plenty of weapons if he can’t go. See which team to pick here.

Why the Nets can cover

Brooklyn was an 8.5-point underdog on the road against the Knicks on Friday and covered the spread thanks in large part to Cam Thomas dropping a season-high 43 points. Thomas is averaging 25.3 points per game while shooting 46.2% from the floor and 39.8% from the 3-point line, both career-highs.

The Nets are now 9-4 against the spread on the season and they’ve also covered the spread in two of their last three head-to-head matchups with the Knicks. They’ve covered in five of their last six games overall and are 5-0 ATS in their last five road games too. See which team to pick here.
