We will trust the home team to bounce back in this matchup.
We saw an all-time collapse by New York in Game 1 of the series.
I expect New York to respond and dominate this game on their home floor tonight.
The Knicks know this is a must-win game, and we will see a different level of energy and intensity from them tonight.
Pick: Knicks -6.5

The Knicks lost Game 1, but not due to a lack of offense from Brunson.
The former Villanova standout got any shot he wanted throughout the night.
I expect Brunson to be ultra-aggressive in tonight’s matchup and post a 30+ point performance in Game 2 tonight.
Pick: Jalen Brunson Over 29.5 Points
