The Brooklyn Nets and New York Knicks meet up for the 3rd time this season as they lock horns at Barclays Center today at 1:00 pm ET. You can watch the game live on ABC. I’ve prepared a same game parlay which is available below.
We also have predictions on the side and total for the rest of Sunday’s 8-game slate, including the ESPN clash between the Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns.
Let’s get into the Knicks vs Nets clash first though!
Brooklyn Nets 1-10 win margin (+170)
Kevin Durant 3+ made threes (+100)
Seth Curry to score 20+ points (+310)
Parlay odds: +2081
Brooklyn Nets 1-10 win margin (+170)
The Nets are in desperate need of wins if they want to move up from 8th place in the Eastern Conference. They dismantled the Philadelphia 76ers in their last game by 29 points, but I expect tonight’s game to be a lot closer. Kyrie Irving isn’t eligible to play, which means everything falls on to the shoulders of Kevin Durant. We all know what KD is capable of, the Nets have beaten the Knicks already twice this season with the games were decided by 2 and 5 points. With New York’s 3 wins in their last 4 games they could put up some resistance, so expect a close game and hopefully another Nets home win.

Kevin Durant 3+ made threes (+100)
Kevin Durant has been lighting it up lately from 3-point land. He’s averaging 2.5 makes from downtown in March and in 2 of his last 3 games he has scored at least 3 from downtown. No Kyrie Irving in the lineup means more shot opportunities for everyone else and that includes KD. In his last 3 games without his good friend, Durant has put up 25, 20 and 24 shots. With that amount of attempts at least 6 or 7 will be from downtown and against a Knicks team that is allowing 34.5% of shots made against them from the perimeter, he should have a big scoring game.
Seth Curry to score 20+ points (+310)
Seth Curry is coming off a revenge game of his own against his former team the Philadelphia 76ers. He finished with 24 points scored on a very efficient 10-for-14 from the field while also making 4 threes. He’s making 2.6 threes per game this month while knocking down 40.6% attempts. In 3 meetings with the Knicks this season he is averaging 12.7 points per game and the last time he faced them he finished with 20. No Irving and LaMarcus Aldridge means that he will be the 2nd scoring option behind Durant, and with KD drawing so much attention from opposing defenses, Curry should have plenty of opportunities to do some damage.
