Capper Penguin's NBA Wednesday Pick: Nets @ Knicks - 3/1

When Capper Penguin tells us to fade a big man - we listen. Check out his pick for tonight's NBA action as the Brooklyn Nets take the subway to Madison Square Garden to play the New York Knicks!

It seems like Nicolas Claxton has been struggling to find a key role in this new Nets lineup and I don't think he'll find it vs a tough Knicks squad.

This line is obviously a little juicy, but I'm surprised it's being offered at all considering most other books have this line for even money at 9.5. Nic Claxton is averaging 7.33 rebounds in his last 6 games covering in 5 of them. The largest contributor is the fact that he'll be going against one of the toughest teams for centers to rebound against. The Knicks are allowing the 4th fewest rebounds to centers and Nic Claxton has only covered once out of three games vs them this season including 6 rebounds in their last matchup. Now that they have Mitchell Robinson back in the mix I'm expecting him to stay cool.
