76ers at Knicks picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 117, 76ers 108

Moneyline

PASS.

There is better value on the spread for the Knicks (-165), who are 27-14 at home this season.

Against the spread

BET KNICKS -3.5 (-110).

New York has won 5 games in a row and has covered in 4 of its last 5 games with a 5-point spread in either direction. It faces a Philadelphia team that needed a major comeback against Miami and is still trying to figure out its chemistry with Embiid back on the court.

Over/Under

BET OVER 208.5 (-115).

Philly has hit the Over in 8 of its last 10 games and has scored 107 or more in 9 of its last 10 games. New York has hit the Over in 9 of its last 10 games including each of its last 5. It has scored 118 or more in 4 of its last 5 and allowed 108 or more in 9 of its last 10.

Knicks at Celtics picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 110, Celtics 105

Moneyline

BET KNICKS (-138).

There’s no good reason, besides this being a nationally televised game, why any Celtics star would play. They have already clinched the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference. Boston has lost 3 of its last 8 and is 0-2-1 ATS in its last 3 games.

The Knicks are 3-1 ATS in their last 4 and 5-4 ATS in their last 9 on the road. They could slide to the 6th seed or stay as high as No. 3. New York has won 2 straight road games with those wins against Milwaukee and Chicago.

Expect the motivation to be there for the road team and take KNICKS (-138).

Against the spread

AVOID.

Given the unknown regarding who will take the court for Boston, the New York moneyline is the better option here.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 214 (-112).

The Knicks have gone Over in 8 of their last 9 games, scoring at least 120 points in 3 of their last 4. The Brunson-led Knicks offense is clicking on all cylinders, and they have a strong presence on the offensive glass, sitting 1st in offensive rebounding rate.

The Celtics have scored at least 118 points in 3 of their last 5 and have gone Over in 3 of those 5. They have also gone Over in 8 of their last 11. Considering the trends for both teams, back OVER 214 (-112).

Prediction

Knicks 114, Bulls 106

PASS.

The Knicks (-190) spread presents a better chance at profit.

Against the spread

BET KNICKS -4.5 (-110).

New York has covered the spread in 6 of its last 9 games and is 4-2 ATS in its last 6 as a favorite. The Knicks are 41-34-3 ATS this season and face a Chicago team that is just 3-7 ATS in its last 10 games overall and has failed to cover in 4 of its last 6 at home. With Brunson leading the way, the Knicks will win decisively Tuesday night.

Over/Under

BET OVER 212.5 (-110).

The Knicks have hit the Over in 8 of their last 10 games, including 7 of their last 8 overall and 5 of their last 6 on the road. They have scored 112 or more points in 6 of their last 8 games and have given up 108 or more in each of their last 6.

New York Knicks at Milwaukee Bucks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s New York Knicks at Milwaukee Bucks odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New York Knicks (45-32) square off against the Milwaukee Bucks (47-30) Sunday with tip-off from Fiserv Forum set for 7 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Knicks vs. Bucks odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Bucks lead 3-1

The Knicks fell 108-100 against the Chicago Bulls Friday and have lost 4 of 5. G Jalen Brunson has had 35 points and 11 assists in 2 straight games. The Knicks are tied with the Orlando Magic for 4th in the East and are just a half-game behind Cleveland for 3rd with 5 games remaining.

The Bucks have lost 3 in a row and 5 of 6, but they remain 1 1/2 games up on the Cavs for the 2nd spot in the East. They fell to the Toronto Raptors 117-111 as G Damian Lillard returned to drop 36 points. F Giannis Antetokounmpo sat out of that one and is questionable Sunday.

Knicks at Bucks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 111, Knicks 109

Moneyline

The Bucks just lost at home to the Raptors and Memphis Grizzlies. While they could, and probably should, win this game, I have zero faith in them – especially at this number.

So let’s have some fun and construct an SGP. Brunson is averaging 35.8 PPG and 5.8 APG. F OG Anunoby returned from injury in the last game and went 2-for-4 from deep. So let’s go BRUNSON 25 POINTS + BRUNSON 5 ASSISTS + ANUNOBY OVER 0.5 THREES (-121).

BetMGM is offering a 50% SGP Boost Token that would make that very manageable SGP +125.

Against the spread

I think the Knicks could take this outright, but I just don’t have the faith to throw down on the ML. This obviously hinges heavily on Giannis’ status, which is unknown at this point. Wait until closer to tip to get some clarity on him, but with such a tight spread here, the books aren’t feeling he’ll go.

LEAN KNICKS +4.5 (-115).

Over/Under

The Bucks are 6-4 O/U over their last 10, and the Knicks are 8-2. This number would have went way Over in 3 of the 4 meetings this season with the lone exception an early season 110-105 Milwaukee victory

Take the OVER 220.5 (-110).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Chicago Bulls (36-40) welcome the New York Knicks (45-31) to the United Center Friday. Tip is set for 8 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Knicks vs. Bulls odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Knicks lead 1-0

The Knicks beat the Bulls 116-100 in New York on Jan. 3, covering as an 8-point home favorite. Including Friday, these teams will play 3 times in the next 2 weeks.

New York is coming off a 120-109 home win over the Sacramento Kings Thursday, covering as a 4-point favorite. The Knicks have lost 3 of their last 4 yet have won 4 of their last 7 and covered in 5 of those 7. New York is 40-33-3 against the spread (ATS) on the season.

The Bulls lost 113-101 to the Atlanta Hawks Monday, failing to cover as a 2-point home favorite. They have lost 5 of their last 7 games and are 2-5 ATS in that stretch. Chicago is 37-38-1 ATS on the season. It is led by F DeMar DeRozan, who is averaging 23.6 points per game.

Knicks at Bulls picks and predictions

Prediction

Bulls 108, Knicks 106

Moneyline

BET BULLS (-118).

The Knicks shot 55% from the field against Sacramento Thursday with F Josh Hart hitting 14 of 19. A similar performance is unlikely. New York will be without Randle for the rest of the season and won’t be a good matchup for a guard-heavy Bulls team. NY has won just 1 of its last 4 games.

Chicago has the talent in G Cody White to counteract G Jalen Brunson. The Bulls should also have a size advantage with C Nikola Vucevic. The Bulls will have a strong rest advantage as well, having not played for 4 days.

Chicago matches up well with New York. At home, take BULLS (-118).

Against the spread

PASS.

The spread and moneyline are close enough to consider either. I prefer the moneyline and to not fool around with the points.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 212 (-110).

Chicago has the scoring to help the Over here with 4 active players scoring 12 or more points per game. The Bulls have scored at least 108 points in 3 of their last 4 games and are 7-4 O/U in their last 11. Chicago is 40-35-1 O/U on the season.

The Knicks have gone Over in 6 straight games and have tallied at least 112 points in 5 of their last 6, allowing at least 109 in 4 straight as well. With Anunoby, who they brought in for his defensive acumen, still sidelined, the Bulls guard play could thrive.

Back OVER 212 (-110).

Season series: Knicks lead 1-0 with 98-91 win on March 16, covering as a 3-point road underdog

The Knicks have lost 3 straight games after winning 7 of 8 games. New York is coming off a 109-99 loss on the road to the Miami Heat Tuesday, failing to cover as a 2.5-point underdog. It is 4-2 against the spread (ATS) over its last 6 games and 39-33-3 ATS on the season.

The Kings have won 2 in a row and are coming off a 109-95 win over the LA Clippers, covering as a 3-point favorite. They have won 4 of their last 6, covering in each win and failing to in each loss. Sacramento has played just 3 of its last 14 games on the road and went 2-1 ATS in those road matchups. It is 38-36-1 ATS on the season.

Kings at Knicks picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 111, Kings 108

Moneyline

PASS.

The Kings (+136) have some value on the moneyline, but their odds on the spread pose the best play here. The Knicks are too expensive to take to win outright at -162.

Against the spread

BET KINGS +3.5 (-110).

The Kings are one of the best teams in the NBA both are covering on the road and as an underdog. They are 15-9 ATS as an underdog, the 3rd-best covering rate. They are 22-14-1 ATS on the road, the 4th-best covering rate in the NBA.

At the same time, the Knicks are 1-2 ATS in their last 3 games and have lost all 3. They have lost 4 of their last 7. New York is also 1-2 ATS in its last 3 games against teams in playoff position.

Couple the trends together and take KINGS +3.5 (-110).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 215.5 (-110).

The Kings have the scoring to hang with the Knicks, and New York has been scoring at will over the last few weeks. They are 7-1 O/U in their last 8 games, scoring at least 124 in 3 of their last 5. New York has also allowed at least 109 points in each of its last 3 games.

The Kings have offensive talent in G De’Aaron Fox, but they have gone Under in 7 of their last 8 games. They have scored at least 108 in 4 of their last 6 and in 2 straight.

Both teams have the firepower to score, and given the Knicks’ recent offensive success, back OVER 215.5 (-110).

The New York Knicks (44-30) square off against the Miami Heat (41-33) Tuesday with tip-off from Kaseya Center set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Knicks vs. Heat odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Knicks lead 2-0

The Knicks are coming off a heartbreaking 113-112 home loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder Sunday. G Jalen Brunson followed up his 61-point performance with 30. Knicks not named Brunson shot just 9-for-32 (28%) from 3-point land in the Sunday defeat. The Knicks remain in 4th place, a half-game behind the Cleveland Cavaliers in the East. They’re 7-3 over the last 10.

The Heat are in the top Play-In Tournament spot at 7th and trail the Indiana Pacers for 6th by a game. They’re coming off convincing, 142-82 and 119-107 wins over the Portland Trail Blazers and Washington Wizards. In the Wiz game Sunday, C Bam Adebayo had 22 points, 10 boards and 5 assists.

Knicks at Heat and predictions

Prediction

Heat 111, Knicks 106

Moneyline

The Knicks are 2-0 against the Heat this season, but both games were at MSG. The teams are an even 5-5 over the last 10 meetings, but Miami has won all 4 at home. I look for Miami to make it 5 in a row, and it’s not priced out of our pocket yet.

You can take HEAT -150 or look to the spread.

Against the spread

Each Heat win in Miami in this 10-game window has been by 4+ points. This 2.5-point window is right at my limit that I’d lay on the spread. F Jimmy Butler has kind of been on cruise control, averaging 14.2 PPG while shooting 45.4% (15-for-33) during the stretch. I’d look for him to ramp it up Tuesday night.

Take the HEAT -2.5 (-115).

Over/Under

This is a smaller total than I envisioned at 1st glance. The Heat are 4-6 O/U over the last 10, and the Knicks are 6-4. This is the 2nd-lowest total in this matchup in the last 10 meetings.

Take the OVER 206.5 (-110).

Analyzing Sunday’s Oklahoma City Thunder at New York Knicks odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Oklahoma City Thunder (51-22) square off against the New York Knicks (44-29) Sunday with tip-off from Madison Square Garden set for 7 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Thunder vs. Knicks odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Thunder lead 1-0

The Thunder surprisingly routed the Phoenix Suns Friday night 128-103 without superstar G Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps). Seven players scored in double figures, led by G Josh Giddey, who had 23 points, 7 boards and 9 assists. He’s averaging 26.3 PPG over his last 3 games in arguably his best stretch of his young career.

The Knicks came up short as 8.5-point favorites in a 130-126 loss to the San Antonio Spurs Friday. G Jalen Brunson finished 1 point shy of Carmelo Anthony’s franchise record with 61 points. It was the 5th-highest point total in the league this season. That setback snapped a 3-game winning streak, and they’re 7-3 over the last 10.

Thunder at Knicks and predictions

Prediction

Thunder 118, Knicks 115

Moneyline

The Thunder just routed a better team in the Suns without SGA, and they’re 22-14 on the road this season. They’re 8-2 against the Knicks in the last 10 meetings, and they’ve won the last 5 meetings at the Garden.

Take the THUNDER +140.

Against the spread

If you want to double up here and take the insurance in the event OKC doesn’t get it done, by all means 3½ points is a solid chunk.

I see a prop to exploit, though, and I’m all over it. Giddey has averaged 24.5 PPG, 8 RPG and 6.3 APG over the last 4 games. Take JOSH GIDDEY OVER 26.5 POINTS+REBOUNDS+ASSISTS (-105).

Over/Under

Each team is 5-5 O/U over the last 10 games, and the Over has cashed in 8 of the last 10 meetings of the squads. This is a small total with the books likely shading the Under with SGA potentially out. Each team has managed 119+ in 3 straight games.

Take the OVER 215.5 (-105).

Knicks at Spurs picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 118, Spurs 106

Moneyline

PASS.

The Knicks have won 7 of their last 8 games and have won their last 2 road games against teams outside of the playoff picture by at least 12 points. They aren’t worth a play at -420 though.

Against the spread

BET KNICKS -9 (-110).

New York has covered in 4 of its last 5 games as a favorite, and it is 4-0-1 ATS in those 5. The Knicks have a plethora of scoring options as 6 players average double figures, so the absence of Randle shouldn’t impact them too much.

The Spurs will be missing 1 of their 3 players averaging over 12 points, so Johnson’s absence will be felt. They are 1-2 ATS in their last 3 at home and 3-4 ATS in their last 7 at home.

Considering those trends, back KNICKS -9 (-110).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 212 (-110).

The Spurs are a young team and like to run. They rank 3rd in the NBA in pace. While the Knicks sit 30th in pace, they have an efficient offense that has scored at least 124 points in 2 straight games.

The Knicks have gone Over in 4 of their last 5. The Spurs, who have allowed at least 110 points in 5 of their last 7, have gone Over in 3 of their last 6.

Take OVER 212 (-110).

The Raptors suffered a 96-88 loss at home against the Brooklyn Nets Monday as a 6.5-point underdog as the Under (218) cashed.

Knicks at Raptors picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 113, Raptors 95

Moneyline

The Knicks (-950) will cost you nearly 10 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not nearly enough reward, especially for a road team.

While New York has been playing well, and the Raptors (+640) are obviously in tank mode, it’s still not a recommended play to back such a heavy favorite.

PASS.

Against the spread

The KNICKS -13.5 (-106) are heavy favorites on the road, but they’re playing very well of late.

New York has won 6 of the past 7 games, and it has cashed as a favorite of 6 or more points at a 3-0-1 ATS clip in the past 4 instances just since March 12. The Knicks have been taking care of business against the dregs of the league, for which the Raptors +13.5 (-114) certainly qualify.

The Raps have been mailing it in, dropping 11 consecutive outings, while failing to cover in 6 of the previous 7, including the past 3 as double-digit underdogs. And the past 2 occasions as a ‘dog of 11 or more points came at home.

Over/Under

UNDER 210 (-110) is worth a look in this Eastern Conference battle north of the border.

The Raps have cashed the Under in 7 straight outings while going 10-3 in 13 March contests. The offense has been awful, going for 104 or fewer points in 6 of the past 7 outings, while failing to reach triple digits in 3 of the past 5.

The Knicks have allowed just 96 PPG in the past 2 wins against non-playoff teams while holding teams to double-digit point totals in 7 of the past 9 outings. New York is on a 12-4 run to the Under across the past 16 outings.
