Nets vs. Knicks preview: How to watch, TV channel, start time
The Brooklyn Nets (13-13, ninth in the Eastern Conference) are back in Brooklyn after a five-game west coast road trip to welcome the New York Knicks (15-11, fifth in the Eastern Conference) to Barclays Center on Wednesday and if you’re wondering how you can watch all the action live, you’ve come to the right place!
The Nets come into this game following a disappointing 125-108 loss at the Utah Jazz on Monday that brought their record on their road trip to 1-4 despite two winnable games against the Golden State Warriors and the Jazz. In Utah, the Nets were competitive until the second half of the third quarter in which the Jazz began a monumental run to blow the game open.
The Knicks enter this matchup after a 114-109 win at the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday in which Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle combined for 56 points. New York has won three of its last five as a sign of the team playing better thanks to Randle playing some of his best basketball of the season like he is capable of doing.
