The New York Knicks enter this contest on a two-game winning streak after just barely defeating Atlanta and the Lakers home at Madison Square Garden. They have however won just once in nine attempts (2-7 ATS) outside of their own building all season, and I think they'll better prepare for another defeat when they visit their crosstown rival Brooklyn Nets Thursday night.

The Nets have won three of their last four games, all as underdogs, and they're 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games overall. The Knicks have the better season record at 14-13 vs. 11-15, but the Nets are 9-1 ATS when playing against a team with a winning record.

The home team is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 head-to-head meetings.

My free pick is on the Brooklyn Nets.
