Brooklyn Nets vs New York Knicks Bet Builder Tips: Wednesday, November 9th
The 5-5 New York Knicks are 2.5-point underdogs on the road against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night. Kyrie Irving is suspended for Brooklyn, leaving an enormous burden on Kevin Durant. The Nets have continued to be more of an over-the-top drama than a basketball team, starting the season 4-7.
Mitchell Robinson is out for New York, leaving Jericho Sims as the starting five. Quentin Grimes is still listed as questionable. Alongside Irving, T.J. Warren remains sidelined for Brooklyn and Yuta Watanabe is listed as out here. Brooklyn is yet to appoint a head coach to succeed Steve Nash after resistance in their pursuit of Ime Udoka.

Brooklyn Nets vs New York Knicks Preview
Thu, Nov 10. 00:40 (UK time)
The Nets are 1-5 against the spread at home. This team has won two of its last three, but it is still a surprise to see them favoured in this one. While the Knicks do not have the top-end talent of Durant and have their own fundamental questions to answer, they are an image of stability compared to the chaos of the Nets. Ben Simmons has been a liability to start the season – this roster is alarmingly short on defensive talent, and with no Irving, they are short on the offensive firepower to compensate.
The Knicks have won their last two on the road, shooting lights out against the Timberwolves and overcoming the Sixers in Philadelphia. They are a great bet to make that three in a row here.
Jalen Brunson, New York’s headline offseason acquisition, has made an immediate impact. Running the offence and taking on a scoring burden, Brunson is averaging over seven assists per game and has scored 20 or more in his last four outings.
The former Maverick might not be flashy, but he uses his body well and has a knack for creating space to get shots off. Perimeter defence is a clear weakness of these Nets – Brunson will have the advantage in the vast majority of matchups. Having notched 26 or more points and assists in his last three, we are taking the points and assists over for this game.

On the Nets side, Durant is the only player where a player prop bet can be placed with any degree of confidence. His importance is elevated further without Irving.
The Knicks could be aggressive with sending help, but the former MVP is still going to put up a lot of points. He has scored over 25 in every game so far this season – take Durant to score over 25.5 on the alternate line.
- New York Knicks Moneyline
- Jalen Brunson over 25.5 points and assists
- Kevin Durant over 25.5 points
