The Brooklyn Nets return home to the Barclays Center to take on the New York Knicks Monday night. The Nets are once again big underdogs to the Knicks, who have not played well away from the confines of Madison Square Garden over their last six games. Here is some useful information to think about.
It's back home for the Brooklyn Nets (3-13) playing the second game of a back-to-back as 13.5-point home underdogs against the New York Knicks (9-6) at Barclays Center, Monday night Nov. 24, 2025. Tip-off is set for 7:30 p.m. (ET).
The Nets, coming off a 119-109 lost to the Toronto Raptors, are +625 on the Money line with the Knicks (-1000), looking to finish a four-game road trip at .500 and who defeated the Nets 134-98 on Nov. 9, heavily favored to head for the cash window.
The over/under total is 229.5, as per FanDuel Sportsbook.
The Nets, who covered the point spread as 12.5 point road underdog and were tied with the Toronto Raptors 104-104 with 4:24 remaining in the game, are 2-3 in their last five games, including a win as 14.5 point road underdogs at Boston, Friday night.
However, Brooklyn is 0-7 at home, including four losses of 10-plus points. They will be playing their third game in four nights. However, if there's any solace for the Nets faithful it is that the Knicks, coming off a 133-121 loss in Orlando, are just 1-5 on the road this season.
Ben Saraf, Cam Thomas and Haywood Highsmith are out for the Nets, while Knicks F OG Anunoby continues to be sidelined.
The Nets, all in on getting a (very) high pick in the 2026 NBA draft, return home after playing four of their last five games away from Barclays Center.
But unfortunately things appear as if they will get worse - before they get bettor - for the Nets, even coming off another valiant effort, Sunday night vs. the Raptors.
While the Nets not only covered a huge spread for the second straight game and dug out of a 12-0 hole to start the game, Brooklyn, as is customary with a young team, went ice cold down the stretch.

Michael Porter Jr. (24.8 points and 7.6 rebounds per game) is usually a reliable source of offense, despite faltering down the stretch last night. The Knicks, led by Karl-Anthony Towns (21.7 points and 12 rebounds per game), have covered the spread eight times in 15 games.
The Nets, even with their recent run of success, just can't close out games they have a chance in, with the latest example coming Sunday night.
Look at Clowney, with the thought being a young and valuable player looking to show off in front of the home crowd, to go over 2.5 made three-pointers at plus money (+102).

There is one thing you should definitely bet on. Bet on enjoying the TV broadcasts of Knicks vs. Nets on MSG Network and YES Network, respectively - both two of the best that the NBA League Pass has to offer with Mike Breen and Walt Frazier handling the duties on the Knicks side, while Ryan Rucco, if not Ian Eagle, and Sarah Kustok handle the same duties for the Nets.
