New York lost 111-104 at home Saturday night versus San Antonio to drop to 4-12 overall and 3-5 at home. The Knicks outscored the Spurs 61-43 in the second half but could not overcome its big deficit.

Bobby Portis tallied 16 points, two boards and two assists off the bench. Julius Randle had 14 points, eight caroms and three assists. R.J.

NBA Betting Trends
Brooklyn
The Nets are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games versus the Eastern Conference. Brooklyn is 0-5 ATS in its last five games versus the Atlantic Division.
New York
The Knicks are 23-47 ATS in their last 70 home games. New York is 7-2 ATS in the last nine meetings.
Prediction:
Even with Kyrie Irving sidelined with a shoulder injury, I like the Nets here. Dinwiddie is fully capable of running the show and Brooklyn had yesterday off whereas the Knicks expended a lot of energy trying to rally against the Spurs. Even though New York has had its number quite a bit lately, this one seems to be the Nets' for the taking.
