PREVIEW: The Brooklyn Nets arrive at Madison Square Garden ranked 26th in defensive three-point shooting while simultaneously boasting the league's second-best frequency in launching three-pointers at a 47.9% rate . However, this offensive identity hasn't translated into wins, as the Nets have lost five consecutive road games and are 3-7 in their last 10 contests away from home. Brooklyn has gone 1-4 in their last five games overall, with Michael Porter Jr. emerging as a bright spot by averaging 25.1 points over his last 10 outings. The Nets' 26th-ranked turnover rate and slow tempo approach on offense could prove problematic against a New York team desperate to snap a losing skid. The Knicks counter with the third-ranked efficient three-point shooting and excellent spacing on offense, yet their defensive vulnerabilities remain glaring at 28th in quality three-point defense. New York is surrendering 114.9 points per game, which represents their worst defensive output since 1979-80, and they're allowing opponents to shoot a concerning 37.5% from three-point range. Despite ranking third in good defensive rebounding, the Knicks' offensive rebounding ranks third as well, giving them multiple chances to score at the rim. The Knicks have dominated this matchup historically, winning the last 10 meetings including two blowouts where they defeated Brooklyn 134-98 and 113-100 earlier this season.
