N.J. gambler sues Djilino1 netraftKings, alleging deceptive tactics
deskgameBoth teams are off to disappointing starts, as the Knicks have lost five of their first nine games, and the Sixers come into the matchup with a 2-7 record.

It’ll be another week of QB Kenny Pickett, who went 14-for-24 passing for 143 yards, one touchdown and one interception last week versus Washington. deskgameCam Thomas is leading the way for Brooklyn in scoring at 23.8 points per game. He ranks second in the league in free throw percentage, at a 90.4% clip. Nic Claxton remains a steady presence down low, as he leads the Nets with 7.7 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game. Last season, he averaged 2.1 blocks per game, so expect that average to increase. If he can play through a back injury, Brooklyn will be better equipped to handle Towns.
