Prediction

Clippers 114, Knicks 97

Moneyline (ML)

The Clippers (-385) should win this game handily since they have the second-best record straight up (9-3), and the best record against the spread (8-4) and margin of victory (+10.6) versus non-conference opponents. Both teams have been inconsistent as of late, each going 5-5 in their last 10 games, although inconsistent is an improvement for the Knicks (+300). Between the on-paper mismatch, the Clippers’ strong 15-4 home record and the lack of value for the Clippers to win straight up, I am staying away from any moneyline wager.

PASS.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

It’ll be tough for the Knicks (+7.5, -106) to get hustle buckets for several reasons. First, the Clippers are ranked ninth in opponent points in the paint, while the Knicks are 28th in points in the paint. Second, the Knicks are just 29th in fast-break points so they won’t be able to exploit the Clippers’ weak defense against opponent fast-break points (ranked 26th). Third, one of the strengths of the Knicks is scoring second-chance points (ranked fourth) but the Clippers allow the sixth-fewest second-chance points in the NBA.

Bet CLIPPERS (-7.5, -115). The Clippers are on a back-to-back, but they got boat raced by the Memphis Grizzlies 140-114 Saturday and are going to take it out on the Knicks.

Over/Under (O/U)

As discussed above, don’t count on the Knicks to create much offense against the Clippers. The Grizzlies hit 18 of 39 3-pointers last night but again, that was an NBA regular-season anomaly the Knicks won’t duplicate. The Clippers defense is ranked No. 4 in opponent 3-point percentage and the Knicks are ranked 29th. Furthermore, the combined Over/Under records of the two teams is 32-40 and this could be a Sunday snoozer with the Clippers motivated to defend.

LEAN, not like, UNDER 222.5 (-115) because of the current injury report. If Beverley plays, the Clippers defense is more stout. If George and/or Leonard plays, their offense should be more productive.

Knicks at Suns: Odds, lines, picks and betting tips

NBA odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated Friday at 12:30 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Knicks 117, Suns 113

Moneyline (ML)

People are stuck on the early season horribleness of the Knicks (BetMGM oddsmakers included) and haven’t adjusted their power rankings on them since firing former head coach David Fizdale, and replacing him with interim bench boss Mike Miller Dec. 6. Under Miller, the Knicks have markedly improved, going 6-6 outright and 8-4 against the spread.

The Knicks have improved drastically in points per game, opponent’s PPG, field-goal percentage, margin of victory, opponent’s 3-point percentage, defensive rating, offensive rating, defensive rebounding percentage, and then I stopped tracking them. Point is, the Knicks were awful under Fizdale and they are respectable under Miller (through 12 games).

If you like an underdog to cover then there has to be a chance they win outright. Making a smaller wager on the moneyline, but a bigger bet on the spread, is a gambling angle I’ll take to maximize return on investment when betting underdogs. For example, place 30-50% of your total wager on the KNICKS (+225) because we’re going to take the Knicks with the points, as well.

New to sports betting? A $50 bet on the Knicks to win returns a profit of $112.50.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

Let’s back the Knicks in this matchup because they have recent success in their betting position compared to the Suns. To elaborate, the Knicks are 4-2 when they are 5-7-point underdogs, whereas the Suns have a 0-2 record as 5-7-point favorites. Also, the Knicks are 9-7 as road dogs and the Suns are 5-5 as home favorites.

Recent trends also give the Knicks a slight edge: They are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games while the Suns are 5-4-1. Combining these factors, and the moneyline handicap above, there is a ton of line value in the number. HAMMER the KNICKS (+6.5, -110).

New to sports betting? A $110 bet on the Knicks to lose by 6 or fewer points or win outright returns a profit of $100.

Over/under (O/U)

Neither team plays good defense. The Suns rank 19th in opponents’ PPG and defensive rating while the Knicks rank 17th in opponents’ PPG and 21st in defensive rating. Also, the Suns have the most Overs when playing at home in the NBA (12-5 Over/Under record).

Furthermore, I expect some revenge motivation from Knicks PF Marcus Morris who played for the Suns from 2012-2015. Morris has played above his averages in eight games he’s played against the Suns—16.5 PPG, .536 field-goal percentage and .452 3-point percentage (career averages: 11.9 PPG, .431 FG% and .367 3-point%). Finally, the Suns’ 20-14 Over/Under record (12-5 at home) has me leaning toward a tiny wager on OVER 224.5 (-121).

Wizards at Knicks: Odds, lines, picks and betting tips

NBA odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated Monday at 3 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Knicks 113, Wizards 105

Moneyline (ML)

While the Wizards (+140) have dominated this series in recent seasons, especially against the number, the KNICKS (-167) are the play due to a rash of injuries and a suspension keeping the visitors shorthanded.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Knicks to win outright returns a profit of $5.99.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

Taking the KNICKS (-3.5, -115) is going against the series trends, as the Wizards (+3.5, -106) are 14-6-1 ATS in the past 21 in this series — including 8-2 ATS in the past 10 trips to MSG. But the loss of Thomas and Bertans will be especially big for the visitors.

Over/Under (O/U)

The UNDER 228.5 (-115) has cashed in five in a row in this series. While the Over is the overwhelming trend lately for the Wizards, the Under is 13-4 in the past 17 for the Knicks at MSG, and 14-6-1 in their past 21 when working on a day of rest.

NBA odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 11:40 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Bucks 127, Knicks 107

Moneyline (ML)

The Bucks (-1112) are going to win this one, and win it handily. However, you can’t risk more than 11 times your return. You just can’t! Don’t do it! The Knicks are +650 by the way.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Bucks to win outright returns a profit of just $0.90. Every $11.12 wagered on the Milwaukee ML would profit just $1 if the Bucks prevail.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The BUCKS (-12.5, -115) have cashed in eight of their past 10 games overall, while going 8-2 ATS in the past 10 as a favorite and 6-0 ATS in the past six against teams with a losing overall mark. The last time these teams met in Cream City it was a 132-88 Bucks whitewashing of the Knicks, easily covering a 16.5-point number.

The Knicks (+12.5, -106) are playing on no rest, and that usually doesn’t work out. New York is 2-5 ATS in the past seven on zero rest, while going 12-25 ATS in the past 37 as a home underdog.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 226.5 (-115) is a strong play at plus-money. The over is 4-1 in Milwaukee’s past five overall, and 11-5-1 in the past 17 as a road favorite. The over is 4-1 in New York’s past five games overall, too.

The Philadelphia 76ers (12-6) visit the New York Knicks (4-14) Friday at 7:30 p.m. ET at Madison Square Garden. We analyze 76ers-Knicks odds and lines, with NBA betting advice and tips around the matchup.

C Joel Embiid rebounded from the worst game of his career with a 33-point, 16-rebound performance in a 97-91 home win vs. the Sacramento Kings Wednesday. Two nights earlier, he went scoreless in 32 minutes of a loss at the Toronto Raptors.

The Knicks not only lost their fourth in a row Wednesday, they had their biggest loss of the season, suffering a 28-point defeat at Toronto (126-98).

Prediction

76ers 111, Knicks 103

Moneyline (ML)

There’s no doubt in my mind Philadelphia (-286) will win, but I can’t justify or take credit in advising someone to lay that kind of wood for a favorite. Every $2.86 wagered will profit only $1 if the 76ers win. Philly has won the last nine head-to-head meetings dating back to Dec. 2017. Keep in mind the Sixers are only 4-6 straight up (SU) away from home and own a 4-5-1 ATS road record. The Knicks (+230) are 3-6 SU at home and 4-5 ATS.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The 76ers -7.5 (+100) is worth a small wager. Small, only because you’d like to think New York will show some heart after Wednesday’s blowout loss. The overall fact is this Knicks team is a mess.

New to sports betting? Bet $10 to profit $10 if the 76ers win by eight or more points.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 204.5 (-129) is the STRONGEST PLAY. Every $1.29 wagered profits $1 if the teams combine for 205 or more points. Philly has played to four Unders in a row, while New York ranks last in the league by scoring 101.8 points per game. The Knicks have allowed 114.4 PPG over their last five outings. I expect the same to happen Friday night as the teams return from their short Thanksgiving breaks.

NBA odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 10:15 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Knicks 107, Spurs 104

Moneyline (ML)

The Spurs have lost nine of their last 10 games while the Knicks have lost seven of their last 10. At least, New York has played a bit better at home while San Antonio has had trouble in the fourth quarter of almost every game during this bad spell. The Spurs have lost eight straight games during their current run.

Our pick is with the KNICKS (+110).

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on New York returns a profit of $11.00 with an outright win.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

Neither team has covered spreads well this year, but New York is 3-4 against the spread at home. San Antonio is 2-6 ATS on the road while falling nearly four points below the cover line.

This makes the choice somewhat easier. Back NEW YORK (+1.5, -105). The Knicks can win this outright in a close game.

Over/Under (O/U)

The projected total is set at 220.5. The Knicks average just 101.9 points for per game, with the Spurs averaging 112.9 points per game. It could get dicey but the UNDER (-125) is the better play.

How to Watch New York Knicks, NBA Live Stream, Knicks vs 76ers, Schedule, TV Channel, Start Time

Watch the New York Knicks 2019-20 Season Online.

Whoever coined the phrase ‘progress is a slow process’ was likely a New York Knicks fan. One of the most prestigious sports franchises in the entire world may still be as recognizable as any NBA team, but its on-court success has left them unrecognizable in the competitive sense. Going into a sixth straight season without a playoff appearance, several rebuilding attempts have come and gone in the Big Apple. Can the Knicks latest effort at building a roster able to compete be the one that gets them back on track? 

[protected-iframe id=”b614b7252b3c9b2b91b9a61bcd66fdd9-58289342-150719707″ info=”https://fubo-preview.global.ssl.fastly.net/lp/preview/index-lite.html?params=irad%3D540426%26irmp%3D1205322%26pack%3Dfubotv-basic&page_slug=MSG” style=”max-width: 640px;” width = “100%”]

RJ Barrett is the latest to bear the pressure of getting the iconic Knicks brand back into the spotlight. The No. 3 overall pick out of Duke has been tapped to be the face of the franchise heading into the future. So far, early in his rookie season, it’s been an up and down project. The 19-year-old is averaging a respectable 15.8 points per game. 

Like Barrett, the Knicks as a whole have a lot of work to do to get to a level where they’re competing for a playoff spot, much less with the best teams in the Eastern Conference. There are reasons for hope in New York, even if they may seem distant. Yes, the likes of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving passed on the chance to sign, but the addition of Julius Randle in conjunction with Barrett gives the Knicks something to build off of. Perhaps another strong draft class or two and some improved luck in the free agent market could be what gets them heading back into the direction their fans expect.

NBA odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 6:55 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Cavaliers 103, Knicks 99

Moneyline (ML)

The CAVALIERS (+110) are a nice value as short dogs against the Knicks (-134), especially since Cleveland already has a win at New York, 108-87, back on Nov. 10.

New to sports betting? Every $1 wagered on a Cleveland win profits $1.10 if the Cavs prevail. (Ex: Bet $10 to win $11, $20 to win $22, $4.76 to win $10).

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

Take the CAVALIERS (+2.5, –115), as they’re 5-2 against the spread in the past seven games on the road, and 13-5 ATS in the past 18 on the second end of a back-to-back set.

The Knicks (-2.5, -106) are 0-4 ATS in the past four tries against the Cavs, including Nov. 10, and they’re 1-6 ATS in the past seven tries against Cleveland at MSG. The underdog has hit in four of the past five in this series, too.

Over/under (O/U)

The UNDER 208.5 (-110) is the play for each of these erratic offenses. The under has hit in each of Cleveland’s past five games, including each of the past four on the road, while going 19-8 in its last 27 with no rest. The under is 21-7 in the past 28 for the Knicks at MSG dating back to last season, while going 12-3-1 in the past 16 on one day of rest.
