Tuesday night comes with a Subway Series showdown as the Knicks and Nets go head-to-head for the third time this season. The Knicks have already snagged two wins, and are the clear favorites (no surprise), -11 on the spread. With my NBA betting tips, it’s time to dive into some Knicks vs Nets odds and see if Brooklyn can finally steal one – or if New York’s blue and orange runs the city yet again.
Knicks vs Nets Prediction
This one’s shaping up to finish Knicks 116, Nets 106. New York has one of the league’s most lethal offenses, so scoring won’t be an issue – especially against a Brooklyn squad practically waving the tank-season flag. For Brooklyn, SF Cam Johnson and PG D’Angelo Russell, who help the Nets average 14.1 3-pointers per game, will keep things interesting. Both teams can score, but the Knicks’ balanced scoring will be enough.

Knicks vs Nets Best NBA Player Props Today
1. D’Angelo Russell Over 13.5 Points (-127)
The Nets are outgunned offensively, but for your top NBA player prop pick, bet on PG D’Angelo Russell to finish with over 13.5 points. With Brooklyn missing SG Cam Thomas, F Zaire Williams, and others (per updated Knicks vs. Nets injuries), Russell’s court time and shot volume will spike to keep pace with the Knicks. This sets up one of his best games as a Net. Over 13.5 points? Easy money.
Bet on ’Angelo Russell Over 13.5 Points (-127)
2. Cameron Johnson Over 18.5 Points (-117)
Right alongside Russell, you can expect SF Cam Johnson to finish with over 18.5. Johnson is leading the Nets with 19.5 points per game and has already hit this mark once in the subway series. With Brooklyn shorthanded offensively, he’ll need to step up more than usual. Johnson has been reliable lately, and I’m betting on him to lead the charge again. Bet on Cam Johnson to finish with over 18.5 points tonight.
3. Karl Anthony-Towns 23+ Points (-125)
Knicks C Karl-Anthony Towns is coming off a 13-point game in their 119-110 win over the Hawks, but I’m locked in on him to finish with 23+ points in this matchup. Towns has shined in the Subway Series and is due for a bounce-back performance against a shorthanded Nets team. Last time out, he dropped 26 points on 10-of-16 shooting, and I’m expecting him to double down. Bet on Towns to lead the way tonight.
Knicks vs Nets Moneyline Pick
The Knicks already have two wins in this Subway Series, and you can bet they’ll walk away with a third in this Battle of New York. What can I say? They’re coming in with a healthier squad, a stronger offense, and the ability to actually protect the rim. Meanwhile, the shorthanded Nets just don’t have the firepower to keep up. This one’s an easy call. My NBA expert pick is on the Knicks to clean up at Barclays tonight.
Knicks vs Nets Spread Pick
It may be a curveball, but hang on: the Knicks will likely win and lead most of the game, but betting Brooklyn to cover the spread is the smarter move. The Nets, despite being short-handed, are draining over 14 3-pointers per game, and I’m counting on their offense to chip away late and keep things close enough. Don’t underestimate Brooklyn’s ability to cover the spread, even if it’s a sweat. Bet on the Nets with the NBA spread.
Knicks vs Nets Over/Under Pick
When it comes to the over-under, this series is split 1-1, with the last matchup hitting the under. But I’m liking this game to hit the over for my NBA predictions today. The Knicks can pour on the points, and after Karl-Anthony Towns’ quiet 13-point outing, he’s due for a big night alongside PG Jalen Brunson. As for Brooklyn, their 3-point shooting will keep things lively. Also, let’s be honest – neither team plays much defense. Bet on the over.
