Knicks at Magic picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 114, Magic 111

Moneyline

PASS.

The Knicks are the better side despite being on the road, and they are the far less injured side as well. However, at -200, they aren’t worth a wager, especially coming off a bad home loss.

Against the spread

BET MAGIC +4.5 (-105).

Orlando has been terrific for bettors at home, going 9-1 ATS. Obviously, it is short some key players, but it has scored at least 109 in 2 straight games, so it should have the offense to keep pace with New York.

The Knicks have struggled, especially as favorites recently. They are 0-3 ATS in their last 3, all as favorites, and 0-3 ATS in their last 3 on the road. New York has failed to top 113 points in 3 straight games.

Back MAGIC +4.5 (-105).

Over/Under

BET OVER 214.5 (-105).

The Magic have gone Over in back-to-back games, scoring and allowing at least 109 points in each outing. Orlando is 5-3 O/U in its last 8 games.

The Knicks, who are 3-2 O/U in their last 5, have tallied at least 111 in 5 of their last 6. They are 14-11 O/U on the season. New York’s defense hasn’t been as solid recently, allowing 108 or more in 3 straight.

Back OVER 214.5 (-105).

Hawks at Knicks picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 117, Hawks 106

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on New York (-350), which is 8-3 at home, to win Wednesday.

Against the spread

BET KNICKS -7.5 (-110).

New York has won 7 of its last 10 games with 5 of its 7 wins coming by 15 or more points. It has covered 3 of its last 5 games overall, including 3 of its last 4 at home.

Atlanta is just 10-15 ATS this season, including 4-6 ATS in its last 10 games. It is 2-3 ATS in its last 5 road games and has failed to cover the spread in back-to-back games. Each of the Hawks’ last 4 losses have come by 10 or more points.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 237.5 (-115).

This total is incredibly high, even for these teams. The Hawks have scored 119 or fewer points in 3 of their last 5 games while allowing 112 or fewer in 4 of their last 6.

The Knicks have scored 114 or fewer points in back-to-back games while allowing 108 or fewer in 5 of their last 6.

Pistons at Knicks picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 122, Pistons 108

Moneyline

PASS.

The Knicks are surging, while the Pistons are reeling. New York is rightfully a massive favorite and unplayable to win outright.

Against the spread

BET KNICKS -8.5 (-115).

The Knicks have had their will against weaker opponents over the last week. Since Dec. 1, they have won 3 games. Those were a 33-point over the Pelicans, a 15-point win over the Magic and a 24-point win over the Hornets. New York has been throttling oppoents and is 3-0 ATS in its last 3 and 6-3 ATS in its last 9.

The Pistons started off the season hot but are just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games. Detroit has started to struggle offensively, scoring more than 111 in just 2 of its last 7. Considering those trends, back KNICKS -8.5 (-115).

Over/Under

BET OVER 226.5 (-105).

The Pistons have gone Over in 4 of their last 5 games, allowing at least 128 points in 2 straight. They have given up at least 111 in 7 of their last 9.

The Knicks have been surging offensively, scoring 121.3 points per game over their last 3. They have allowed at least 118 in 4 of their last 8. New York is 4-2 O/U in its last 6.

Play OVER 226.5 (-105).

Hornets at Knicks picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 119, Hornets 108

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on the Knicks (-1100) to win on Thursday at home against a struggling Hornets (+675) team.

Against the spread

BET HORNETS +14.5 (-115).

While Charlotte has struggled in its last 10 games going 2-8, it is 7-3 ATS in that span. It has covered in 3 of its last 4 games and in back-to-back road games. It fell by 1 point in its first matchup with New York and will cover again against a Knicks team that has failed to cover in 2 of its last 4 games.

Over/Under

BET OVER 218.5 (-110).

New York has hit the Over in 6 of its last 10 games including 3 of its last 5. It will carry the load on Thursday. The Knicks have scored 114 or more points in 8 of their last 10 and 118 or more points in 3 of their last 5. They have allowed 106-plus points in 3 of their last 5.

Charlotte has also hit the Over in 6 of its last 10 while scoring 104 points in back-to-back games.

Magic at Knicks picks and predictions

Prediction

Magic 119, Knicks 116

Moneyline

BET MAGIC (+155).

Orlando is too hot to bet against right now, especially as an underdog. It is 9-1 in its last 10 games and on a 6-game winning streak. The Magic have won 4 straight road games. They’ve scored 123 or more points in 2 of their last 3 games and allowed 100 or fewer in 4 of their last 5.

New York has dropped 2 of its last 5 games and allowed 118 or more points in 3 of its last 5.

Against the spread

PASS.

The moneyline has the best value on the Magic.

Over/Under

BET OVER 214.5 (-115).

While both teams have played well defensively, they also each have strong offenses, which could easily help the Over hit. The Magic have scored 111 or more points in 4 of their last 6 games, including 123 or more in 2 of their last 3, while the Knicks have scored 114 or more in 3 of their last 4.

The New York Knicks (10-8) travel to face the Charlotte Hornets (6-12) on Friday. Tip-off from Spectrum Center is set for noon ET (NBA TV). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NBA odds around the Knicks vs. Hornets odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; New York won 4-0 last season

New York lost 129-114 to the Dallas Mavericks Wednesday while failing to cover as a 4-point favorite. The Knicks had 3 starters score at least 20 points, led by G Jalen Brunson‘s 37, but New York’s defense allowed the Mavs to shoot 56.5% from the field and 51.5% from deep.

Charlotte lost 98-94 to the Miami Heat Wednesday while covering as a 4.5-point underdog. G LaMelo Ball scored 32 points, but he had very little help as the Hornets only had 2 other players score in double figures. The Hornets have lost 3 straight games.

Ball has been one of just a few bright spots for the Hornets to start the season, but he joined Charlotte’s extensive injury list with a calf injury.

Knicks at Hornets picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 123, Hornets 107

Moneyline

PASS.

The Knicks will pick up the win here and cover as -650 favorites, especially with Ball being out for Charlotte. However, the Knicks are favored far too heavily for the risk to be worth the reward here, so pass and bet on the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

LEAN KNICKS -11.5 (-115).

New York has covered the spread in 4 straight games against the Hornets. The Knicks are also 4-0 ATS in their last 4 wins against the Hornets in Charlotte.

With Ball out and how well New York’s offense is performing, the Hornets will pose no threat to the Knicks in this matchup.

This is a lean because Charlotte is 11-7 ATS this season while New York is only 8-9-1 ATS.

Over/Under

BET OVER 221.5 (-110).

The Over has hit in back-to-back games for the Knicks and is 7-3 in New York’s last 10 games. For Charlotte, the Over is 5-2 in its last 7 games. The Over has also hit in 4 of New York’s last 7 wins against the Hornets.

I like the Knicks to win here thanks to their lethal offense and the absence of Doncic. However, the Knicks are not worth the risk of betting on as -185 favorites, so I recommend passing here and betting on the spread and/or total instead.

LEAN MAVERICKS +4.5 (-115).

Dallas has covered the spread in 5 of its last 6 games and is 2-0 ATS in its last 2 home games. The Mavericks are also 2-0 ATS in the last 2 matchups against the Knicks, being 3-0-1 in the last 4 meetings between the squads.

Knicks at Nuggets picks and predictions

Prediction

Nuggets 119, Knicks 117

Moneyline

PASS.

I slightly lean towards the Nuggets to win this game, especially if Towns is out, but they’re not worth the risk of betting on as -165 favorites. I recommend passing on this bet and playing the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

LEAN KNICKS +3.5 (-110).

New York has covered the spread in 2 of its last 3 games and is 3-1 ATS in the last 4 meetings.

The Knicks, despite their record, are still a very good team, while Denver has some inconsistent pieces and is missing a big contributor on both sides of the ball in Gordon, so the Knicks have a good shot at covering here.

This is a lean because this bet depends heavily on the health of Towns, who has been the best player for New York this year.

Over/Under

BET OVER 232.5 (-105).

The Over has hit in 2 of Denver’s last 3 games and is 7-3 in its last 10. For New York, the Over is 2-1 in its last 3 games and 4-2 in its last 6. The Over has also hit in 2 of the last 3 meetings in Denver.

This bet is much safer if Towns is able to play, as he generates a lot of offense for New York while also being a bad defender, so he’s the perfect player to help the Over hit in any matchup.

Knicks at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 124, Jazz 110

Moneyline

PASS.

The Knicks (-410) will pick up the win and cover, but such heavy favorites are never worth the risk of betting. Bet the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

LEAN KNICKS -8.5 (-115).

New York has covered the spread back-to-back games, while the Jazz are only 1-2 ATS in their last 3. The Knicks are also 3-1 ATS in the last 4 meetings.

With so many injuries for Utah, backing the Knicks is a pretty safe bet.

This is a lean because Utah and New York have been very similar ATS this season.

Over/Under

BET OVER 233.5 (-110).

The Over has hit in back-to-back games for Utah and is 3-1 in its last 4.

For New York, the Over is 2-0 in its last 2 outings and 4-1 in its last 5. The Over also hit in the meeting.

Be aware that the Under is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings.

Knicks at Suns picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 112, Suns 104

Moneyline

The Suns have struggled without 2 of their 3 stars, and if Nurkic is out, as well, G Devin Booker will be their only reliable offensive threat. They have averaged 100.8 points in their 4-game skid, being held under 105 three times and under 100 twice.

The Knicks have scored 114 or more points in 4 straight games.

The Suns will continue their slide without Beal and Durant, but the -210 odds make the moneyline not worth the action unless it is part of a parlay.

PASS.

Against the spread

Seven of the Knicks’ 8 wins this season have been by more than 5 points.

Of the Suns’ 5 losses in the last 6 games, 4 have been by more than 5 points.

BET KNICKS -4.5 (-115).

Over/Under

Three of the last 4 for the Knicks have surpassed the projected total for this matchup.

However, with the Suns struggling to score points, and since their opponents have scored 116 or fewer in 7 of the last 10 games, it’s going to be hard to get to 223.

BET UNDER 223.5 (-105).
