Toronto Raptors at New York Knicks odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Saturday’s Toronto Raptors at New York Knicks NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Toronto Raptors (25-34) travel to meet the New York Knicks (33-27) Saturday at Madison Square Garden. Tip-off is set for 1 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Raptors-Knicks odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

The Raptors are coming off an impressive 114-103 victory over the Brooklyn Nets last time out, and they’re on a four-game win and cover streak.

The Knicks were equally solid in their most recent victory, pushing past the Atlanta Hawks 137-127 in overtime to cover as a 1.5-point underdog.

They have won eight in a row, including three games in overtime. New York has also covered its past 11 games dating back to April 2.

The last time these teams played, the Knicks topped the Raptors 102-96 at MSG as three-point favorites as the Under connected.

Raptors at Knicks: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Knicks 117, Raptors 111

Money line (ML)

The KNICKS (-160) are white-hot right now, something we haven’t seen in a while. In fact, the last time New York won eight straight was March 5-21, 2014, and it hasn’t won nine in a row since a 13-game run from March 18-April 9, 2013.

While they’re in rather uncharted territory, New York is the play, as they are showing no signs of slowing down and already beat Toronto once during the win streak.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The KNICKS -3.5 (-110) haven’t had a non-cover since a 99-86 loss against the Dallas Mavericks on April 2. They have been cover kings lately, including a home win and cover over the Raps on April 11, 102-96.

There is a little more risk here than the money line, obviously, as they need to win by at least two buckets. But I’m not willing to bet against them right now. Are you?

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 216.5 (-110) is the play, and the Knicks are actually the reason. Yes, they still allow the fewest points per game in the NBA, but the Over has cashed in five of the past six games, with New York going for 109 or more points in six straight. It has also allowed 110.2 PPG across the past five outings.

Atlanta Hawks at New York Knicks odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Wednesday’s Atlanta Hawks at New York Knicks NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

After extending their winning streak to seven games Tuesday night, the New York Knicks (32-27) will be back on their home floor Wednesday as the Atlanta Hawks (32-26) come to town. Tip-off at Madison Square Garden will be at 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Hawks-Knicks odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

The Hawks have been playing some great basketball lately, winning eight of their last 10 games, including their last two against the Indiana Pacers and Orlando Magic. They sit fourth in the Eastern Conference, a half-game ahead of the Knicks. Atlanta has held up well on the road this season, too, going 16-15 away from home.

The Knicks have also won eight of their last 10 contests, helped by their current seven-game winning streak to push them five games above .500. Their most recent win was by 12 points over the Charlotte Hornets Tuesday night, a game in which they were favored by 5 points.

New York beat Charlotte despite PF Julius Randle scoring only 16 points, well below his season average of 23.6 points per game.

Hawks at Knicks: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Knicks 112, Hawks 108

Money line (ML)

The Knicks continue to play well on both sides of the ball, holding five of their last 10 opponents to 101 or fewer points.

They’ve won seven straight and though the Hawks are playing well, too, New York’s defense will give them fits.

I like the KNICKS (+105) to win straight up tonight.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The Knicks are short underdogs at home. It’s the seventh time in their last 11 games they’ve been spotted points.

They’ve covered the spread in 10 straight games, and in their last 10 meetings with the Hawks, the Knicks are 7-2-1 ATS.

Take the KNICKS +1.5 (-110) to cover.

Over/Under (O/U)

The total had gone Over in each of the Knicks’ last four games before the Under hit Tuesday . For the Hawks, the Under is 4-1 in their last five games.

So long as Atlanta isn’t without all of its aforementioned injured players, the OVER 218.5 (-110) looks good.

Charlotte Hornets at New York Knicks odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Tuesday’s Charlotte Hornets at New York Knicks NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

Riding a six-game winning streak, their longest since 2014, the New York Knicks (31-27) will host the Charlotte Hornets (28-28) Tuesday night. Tip-off at Madison Square Garden will be shortly after 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Hornets-Knicks odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

The Hornets still don’t have many of their key players, with PG LaMelo Ball, SF Gordon Hayward and SG Malik Monk all sidelined. They lost four of their last five games, but are coming off a 109-101 win over the Portland Trail Blazers Sunday. The Hornets are 4-6 over their last 10 games.

The Knicks are the hottest team in the NBA right now. They were favored in only two of their last six games, too, so four of their wins were as underdogs. Their most recent victory was by a 122-112 count over the New Orleans Pelicans Sunday, which came after the Knicks upset the Dallas Mavericks by 8 points Friday.

Hornets at Knicks: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Knicks 109, Hornets 102

Money line (ML)

The Knicks are searching for their seventh consecutive win against an injury-riddled team that has lost four of their last five games. This game strongly favors the Knicks, especially while at home.

Though I like a bet on the spread more, feel good about putting a small wager on the KNICKS (-225) to win straight up.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

New York is giving Charlotte 5.5 points at home, which is the most they’ve been favored by since March 4 against the Detroit Pistons. The Knicks were 6.5-point favorites and won 114-104.

More impressive than their six-game winning streak is the fact they’ve covered in nine straight games. They’ll make it 10 Tuesday.

Take the KNICKS -5.5 (-110).

Over/Under (O/U)

The Knicks have the top defense in the NBA, limiting opponents to an average of 104.5 points per game. PF Julius Randle has been outstanding on both sides of the ball and he’s capable of putting up 30 points any given night, as he has in his last four games.

The total has gone Over in five of New York’s last six games. I like the OVER 207.5 (-115) on a modest total.

New Orleans Pelicans at New York Knicks odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Sunday’s New Orleans Pelicans at New York Knicks NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The New Orleans Pelicans (25-31) visit the New York Knicks (30-27) Sunday at Madison Square Garden at 1 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Pelicans-Knicks odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

The Pelicans are coming off a 117-115 overtime loss at the Washington Wizards Friday to kick off this short two-game road trip. In their last home game, they were dropped 116-106 by the Knicks, failing to cover as 2-point favorites. The Pellies haven’t failed to cover in three in a row since March 3-11.

The Knicks topped old buddy C Kristaps Porzingis and the Mavericks in Dallas 117-109 Friday. It was the Knicks’ fifth consecutive win and – more importantly to us – their eighth cover in a row.

Pelicans at Knicks: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Knicks 119, Pelicans 110

Money line (ML)

The KNICKS (-140) are a solid value at this price and you needn’t worry about covering the spread. They are on a five-game heater, including a win in New Orleans Wednesday by 10 points.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The KNICKS -2.5 (-110) are on an eight-game cover streak, last failing to cover at MSG in a low-scoring 99-86 loss to the Mavericks April 2. New York is also 13-3 ATS across the past 16 games as a home favorite, and 23-8-1 ATS over the previous 32 games overall.

The Pelicans, on the other hand, have failed to cover in four straight on the road, and they’re 2-5 ATS in the past seven games overall.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 219.5 (-110) is the way to go here. These teams just hit the Over on Wednesday in the Crescent City.

The Over is 23-9 in the past 32 for the Pels when playing on a day of rest. The Over is also 4-1 in New York’s past five overall, and 4-1 in the past five against losing teams.

New York Knicks at Dallas Mavericks odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Friday’s New York Knicks at Dallas Mavericks NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The New York Knicks (29-27) take on the Dallas Mavericks (30-24) Friday night on the road with tip-off scheduled for 9:30 p.m. ET in American Airlines Center. Below, we analyze the Knicks-Mavericks odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

The Knicks are riding a four-game winning streak but have struggled on the road this season, going 12-17. They are currently in sixth place in the Eastern Conference, holding a slight half-game lead over the Miami Heat, who would have to participate in the play-in games to make it into the playoffs.

Dallas is kicking off a five-game homestand. They have not played as well this season at home as on the road. They are 13-12 at home while 17-12 on the road. If the season ended today with them as the seventh seed in the West, they would be part of the play-in games to determine the final two playoff teams.

Knicks at Mavericks: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Knicks 108, Mavericks 101

Money line (ML)

Dallas has not been impressive. They have lost three of their last five games and it took a fluky three-pointer at the buzzer by Luka Doncic to beat the Grizzlies Wednesday.

The Knicks have won four straight and have the league’s top scoring defense at 104.3 points allowed per game. I’m going with the upset tonight. Take the KNICKS +180.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The Knicks have the third-best ATS record in the league 34-21-1 ATS. They have covered the spread in seven straight games. Since March 13, they are 14-4 ATS.  Dallas has failed to cover the spread in four of its last five and 26-28 ATS overall. Take the KNICKS +5.5 (-110) if you’re not convinced they’re going to win outright, as this line provides some insurance but doesn’t have nearly as profitable of a return. 

Over/Under (O/U)

They Knicks and Mav have two of the four lowest Over percentages in the league. Dallas is 22-32 O/U and New York is 23-33 O/U. Both are top-10 scoring defenses. Even with the projected total as low as it is, I expect this matchup to stay under that. Take UNDER 210.5 POINTS (-105).

New York Knicks at New Orleans Pelicans odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Wednesday’s New York Knicks at New Orleans Pelicans NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

After each team had the night off Tuesday, the New York Knicks (28-27) will take on the New Orleans Pelicans (25-29) at Smoothie King Center Wednesday night. Tip-off is set for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Knicks-Pelicans odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

The Knicks are riding a three-game winning streak after beating the Los Angeles Lakers, Toronto Raptors and Memphis Grizzlies in the last week. They covered the spread in each of their last six games and are 7-3 against the spread in their last 10 outings.

PF Julius Randle was dominant once again Monday against his former team, pouring in 34 points and 10 rebounds against L.A.

The Pelicans are equally hot, also winning their last three games. PF Zion Williamson is coming off a 30-point performance against the Sacramento Kings, while SF Brandon Ingram scored 34 points, with 7 assists and 6 rebounds.

New Orleans is 2-1 in its last three head-to-head meetings with the Knicks.

Against the spread (ATS)

Bet the KNICKS +2.5 (-110) to cover with 2 points of insurance.

Over/Under (O/U)

The Under has been on a roll lately when these teams meet. The total has gone Under in 13 of the last 18 meetings.

The total has also gone Under 10 times in the Knicks’ last 15 games.

Bet the UNDER 218.5 (-110).

Los Angeles Lakers at New York Knicks odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Monday’s Los Angeles Lakers at New York Knicks NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Los Angeles Lakers (33-20) visit the New York Knicks (27-27) at Madison Square Garden on Monday for a 7:30 p.m. ET tip-off. Below, we analyze the Lakers-Knicks odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

The Lakers continue to be without LeBron James and Anthony Davis, but the others have kept the team’s head above water. The shorthanded Lakers polished off the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center on Saturday by a 126-101 score as 11.5-point underdogs, and they have covered each of the past three.

The Knicks enter with two straight wins against the Memphis Grizzlies and Toronto Raptors. They pushed past the Raps by a 102-96 score Sunday as three-point favorites at MSG as the Under connected.

Lakers at Knicks: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Knicks 113, Lakers 102

Money line (ML)

The KNICKS (-150) are a solid play at home straight up against the Lakers (+125). Who would be able to write or read that sentence a year ago and do it with a straight face? But it’s true, as New York is playing good ball lately, while L.A. has its two best players out, and the remaining crew is banged up, too.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The KNICKS -3 (-110) are worth a look at MSG on their home floor. They topped the Raptors and Grizzlies in the past two at home, and they’re looking for just their second win streak of three or more games at home this season. New York is also on a 5-0 ATS run overall.

The Lakers +3 (-110) have been erratic, as they have alternated wins and losses in each of the past six outings. They were awfully impressive in Brooklyn on Saturday, but it will be tough to replicate those results again.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 205.5 (-110) is the best play on the board here. A line of 205.5 is ultra-low in this day and age of NBA basketball. The Lakers are on a 3-0 Over run, while averaging 113.3 PPG during the span. This won’t be end-to-end action, as the Knicks rank No. 1 in defensive scoring average, field-goal percentage and three-pointer percentage, but it will easily be at least 215 or higher.

Toronto Raptors at New York Knicks odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Sunday’s Toronto Raptors at New York Knicks NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Toronto Raptors (21-32) are in the Big Apple Sunday for an 8 p.m. ET tip-off with the New York Knicks (26-27) at Madison Square Garden. Below, we analyze the Raptors-Knicks odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

Toronto is slipping out of playoff contention—seeded 11th in the Eastern Conference—and has lost six of its past nine games while going 2-7 against the spread.

The last three wins for the Raptors have come against the terrible Cleveland Cavaliers, the Bradley Beal-less Washington Wizards and Stephen Curry-less Golden State Warriors.

New York broke a two-game losing skid with a thrilling 133-129 overtime win over the Memphis Grizzlies Friday as a 1.5-point home underdog.

The Knicks are 2-5 straight up in their last seven games but have covered the spread in each of their past four games. They are in eighth place in the East, 4 games ahead of Toronto.

The Raptors waxed the Knicks 100-83 as 8.5-point home favorites on New Year’s Eve in their first meeting this season. Toronto has covered the spread in four of its last five games vs. New York.

Raptors at Knicks: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Knicks 108, Raptors 102

Money line (ML)

PASS because I “LEAN” New York ATS here but the Knicks (-150) are too expensive for an outright victory over a good Raptors team having a terrible season.

You never know which version of Toronto is going to show up and this young New York squad is still figuring out how to win.

Against the spread (ATS)

“LEAN” to the KNICKS -3 (-110) for .75 units only because we are getting the worst of the number as this game opened with New York laying just 1 point.

The market is barreling into the Knicks to cover and it’s generally not wise to follow a crowd of people in sports betting; however, I agree with the majority of the market and think New York can create enough margin to cover 3 points.

Toronto is 25th in 3-point field-goal attempts allowed per game and New York is third in 3-point shooting percentage since the All-Star break. Conversely, the Raptors are 23rd in 3-point shooting post-All-Star break and the Knicks have the best 3-point defense in the Association.

Over/Under (O/U)

Slight “LEAN” to the UNDER 216.5 (-110) for a quarter-unit because that’s the presumptive “sharp” side.

According to Pregame.com, 80% of the money is on the Under while nearly 70% of the bets placed are with the Over. Since, typically, the “sharp” side of the market is the money column and the “average Joe” is represented in the tickets column, let’s follow the money.

New York Knicks at Boston Celtics odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Wednesday’s New York Knicks at Boston Celtics NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The New York Knicks (25-26) are on the road Wednesday as they visit the Boston Celtics (25-26). Tip-off from TD Garden will be at 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Knicks-Celtics odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

The Knicks have lost four of their last five games after winning three straight. PF Julius Randle has played well of late and is averaging a career-high 22.9 points per game and 10.8 rebounds per game, as well as 6.0 assists. New York’s latest loss came to the Brooklyn Nets by a narrow 114-112 count Monday night.

The Celtics have been as inconsistent and frustrating as any team in the NBA this season. Now below .500 at 25-26, the Celtics have lost five of their last nine games, including a 10-point defeat at the hands of the Philadelphia 76ers Tuesday night. Despite being mostly healthy, the Celtics have struggled to play well consistently in the last month or so.

Knicks at Celtics: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Knicks 104, Celtics 102

Money line (ML)

It’s hard to feel good about betting on the Celtics right now after seeing the way they’ve played in the last month or so. The Knicks haven’t been all that impressive, either, but their defense typically keeps them in games.

Bet the KNICKS (+125) to win outright on the road, especially with Walker out for Boston. Make it a smaller wager because the spread is an even better play.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The Celtics are giving up 3 points to the Knicks, which is somewhat surprising given Walker’s planned absence. The Knicks should be able to control the paint with Randle, and they have the length to match up with Celtics SF Jayson Tatum, making this a tough matchup for Boston.

Take the KNICKS +3 (-110) to cover.

Over/Under (O/U)

The Over/Under is only 209.5 points, largely because the Knicks allow the fewest points per game in the NBA at 104.1.

The total has gone Under the projected line in seven of the last 10 games for both teams and that should continue Wednesday after Boston scored just 96 points Tuesday against the 76ers.

Bet the UNDER 209.5 (-110).

New York Knicks at Brooklyn Nets odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Monday’s New York Knicks at Brooklyn Nets NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The New York Knicks (25-25) will make the short trip to Barclays Center Monday to take on the Brooklyn Nets (34-16) with tip-off set for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Knicks-Nets odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

The Knicks snapped their three-game losing skid Saturday when they crushed the Detroit Pistons 125-81. They’re 5-5 in their last 10 games and PF Julius Randle is playing extremely well, having led the team in rebounds and assists in each of the last three games.

The Nets are banged-up, missing SG James Harden and SF Kevin Durant. They’re still 4-1 in their last five games, but they most recently lost 115-107 to the Chicago Bulls Sunday. Durant remains out Monday, but Harden is questionable. It could be the Kyrie Irving show again.

Knicks at Nets: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Knicks 108, Nets 105

Money line (ML)

The Nets have won seven of their last 10 and four of their last five, but beating a solid Knicks team shorthanded Monday night will be a challenge for Brooklyn.

Randle should continue his high level of play and carry the KNICKS (+170) to an outright win at Barclays Center.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The Knicks are getting 5 points on the road as the NBA’s No. 1 defense goes up against the league’s second-highest scoring squad.

New York well above .500 against the spread this year at 28-21-1 compared to Brooklyn, which is only 24-26.

I like the KNICKS +5 (-110) to cover the spread.

Over/Under (O/U)

The Over/Under line of 217.5 points matches the lowest projected total of the Nets’ last 10 games.

The total went Under the projection in five of the Knicks’ last six games, while it has gone Over in only one of the Nets’ last eight.

Bet the UNDER 217.5 (-110) as the Knicks look to ground Brooklyn’s offense.
