| From this week’s Playbook Hoops Newsletter: A crosstown battle of the boroughs takes place at Madison Square Garden this evening where the Nets will be keen on avenging a 94-82 home loss to the Knicks last month the day after Christmas. One of the things we like best about neighborhood rivalries is that the odds maker prices the home team when the visitors are making a short jaunt on a team bus over to the arena.
