BEST BET

Herbert: Knicks (-5) over Nets: Brooklyn is a disaster right now, and Barclays Center is going to be full of fans wearing Kristaps Porzingis jerseys. Porzingis, by the way, is coming off a monstrous performance in a win over the Celtics. I expect the Knicks to build on that.

Harper: Knicks (-5) over Nets: I know Jay Z said the city is under new management but the Nets are under new management soon, they suck, and the Knicks should be able to run them into the ground in this game.

Moore: Hawks (-1.5) over Hornets: Charlotte’s really banged up and coming back from a long West Coast road trip. This team is not good on either side of the ball right now and it’s going to take a while to work out of it. Atlanta’s also 5-4-1 as a road favorite.
