Prediction and Conclusion
These two teams made a huge trade right before the deadline, which makes this game even more interesting. Bojan Bogdanovic and Alec Burks are a good fit for the Knicks and will have a chance to play against their former team. Both teams are struggling lately, and this is the chance for the Knicks to bounce back. They played well all season long to get into the top four teams in the East, and losing five of the last six games has put that in jeopardy. The Knicks are a -11-point favorite in this game, a spread that is set pretty high, but the Knicks will keep their foot to the gas and win this one by covering the spread.
