NY Knicks Under (198') for 2 Units
This series controls a 0-5 O/U mark and we still see value with the "under" here. The Knicks, perceived by many to be a high scoring team because of D'Antonio's system he brought over from Phoenix however, after early indications that he didn't have the personnel to outscore his foes like he could with Phoenix, he had the Knicks work to their strength with emphasis on defense consequently, NY has held their last five opponents to 90 ppg. Yesterday, they shut down the Pistons and should shut down the offensively challenged Nets. NY is 3-9 O/U on 0 days rest. The Nets, on the other hand, are 0-5 O/U vs teams below .500, 0-4 O/U as a home dog, and 4-9-1 O/U home. We'll stay "under".
