Brooklyn snapped its 11-game losing streak on Monday and beat Sacramento, 109-85. Seth Curry led the Nets with 23 points (10-of-18), seven rebounds, and five assists in his debut. LaMarcus Aldridge (8-of-11) and Bruce Brown (8-of-12) both had 19 points.
New York fell to Oklahoma City in overtime on Monday, 127-123. Julius Randle scored a team-high 30 points (11-of-26) along with 13 rebounds and 10 assists. Evan Fournier had 29 points (10-of-18).

Brooklyn Nets vs. New York Knicks prediction
The Nets looked like a completely different team on Monday night and because of Curry and Andre Drummond, they were. Simmons joined the team on the bench and the energy shift was evident.
It was just one game but Brooklyn’s back on the track that it needs to be on. Meanwhile, the Knicks have lost six of their last seven games. New York didn’t make any trades before the Feb. 10 deadline either.
Even in a game without four of the Nets’ key players, I still believe that Brooklyn will get the win over its cross-town rival.
We’re taking the Nets +4 and under 217 points.
Brooklyn 108, New York 101.
