Knicks look to extend winning streak in Derby!
City duel in the “Big Apple”! The Knicks face the Nets and the home side are looking for their second straight home win in this pairing. After losing the first two duels this season at the Nets, the hosts already won clearly 124:106 against the Nets just over a fortnight ago.
New York Knicks – statistics & current form
The Knicks are in great form at the moment: Head coach Tom Thibodeau’s team has won every game for the last six days. Thanks to this series, the New Yorkers have now also moved past their upcoming opponents in the East standings and are on course for the playoffs in fifth place.
They were also impressive in their last home game against none other than the Eastern Conference leaders from Boston.
Brooklyn Nets – Statistics & current form
While there is little to complain about with the Knicks, the Nets’ situation is contrasting. The team, much changed after the last trade window, has yet to find its feet.
Brooklyn has only won three of its last eleven league games. In addition, the visitors have been very weak away from home lately.
Since a win at the Warriors on 23 January, the following five away games have all been lost, and some of them badly, as the defeats against Chicago with 44 points or Boston with a 43-point difference clearly show.
New York Knicks – Brooklyn Nets Tip
For the clash between the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets on 02/03/2023 from 01:30, the prediction includes a home win with at least eight points difference.
The hosts are very much in form on the road with nine wins from their past eleven games, while the Nets arrive in poor form – just three victories within this review.
In addition, the visitors have to play a back-to-back because they already had to play the Bucks last night. As a result, the home side will also be physically fresher.
