Season series: First meeting; Knicks won 2 of 3 last season

The Knicks lost the third game of a 4-game road trip on Monday, 109-97 to the Houston Rockets as a 1.5-point road favorite while the Under (217.5) hit. G Jalen Brunson led all scorers with 29 points and added 8 assists. Despite C Karl-Anthony Towns grabbing 19 rebounds, the Knicks were outrebounded 50-39.

The Hawks lost for the fifth time in 6 games on Monday night, falling 123-93 to the Boston Celtics. They failed to cover as a 10-point home underdog and the Under (232) cashed. Leading scorer G Trae Young exited in the third quarter with a right rib strain, finishing with just 2 points and 6 assists on 1-for-10 shooting in 23 minutes.

Knicks at Hawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 113, Hawks 102

Moneyline

PASS.

As much as I like the Knicks to win this game, I’m not about to bet $275 to win $100 on that happening. I’ll take my bet to the spread and total.

Against the spread

BET KNICKS -6.5 (-115).

I’m leaning toward the Knicks to cover here. New York has covered the spread in 3 of their last 4 games against Atlanta and is 5-1 ATS in their previous 6 road games facing the Hawks.

The Knicks are also 2-1 ATS in their last 3 games, while Atlanta has been tough to trust, sitting at 1-7 ATS and 0-5 ATS at home. If Young can’t play, Atlanta’s offense may struggle again, as they scored just 40 points in the second half against Boston.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 225.5 (-115).

The Knicks’ strong start hit a snag with a 12-point home loss to the Rockets on Monday. Coach Tom Thibodeau had already stretched his starters, with 3 playing over 40 minutes in just the 6th game of the season. The fatigue showed, as the team shot only 38% overall and 39% from 3, with just 3 bench points.

The Hawks have struggled ATS, though their games tend to hit the over (7-1 O/U, 4-1 at home). Young’s rib injury cast further doubt, as Atlanta’s offense faltered against Boston after his exit. Without Young’s 27 points and 11.7 assists per game, Atlanta’s chances to hit 100 points look slim. The under seems the safer call here.

New York Knicks at Miami Heat Game 4 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s New York Knicks at Miami Heat Game 4 odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The New York Knicks take on the Miami Heat in Game 4 of their 2nd-round NBA playoff series on Monday at Kaseya Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (TNT). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Knicks vs. Heat odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Knicks suffered a 105-86 blowout loss to the Heat on Saturday, failing to cover as 4-point road underdogs. New York was horrible on 3-pointers, hitting only 8 of 40 attempts, and must do better if it hopes to avoid going down 3-1 in the series.

After missing Game 2 due to an ankle injury, F Jimmy Butler returned in Game 3 to produce 28 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists for the Heat. Miami has won 5 of its last 6 games in this postseason.

Knicks at Heat picks and predictions

Prediction

Heat 108, Knicks 102

Moneyline

PASS.

Even though the Knicks are desperate to secure a win on Monday, I believe the Heat will take a 3-1 lead in the series. That being said, I wouldn’t advise taking Miami’s moneyline in this contest at nearly -200 odds.

Against the spread

HEAT -4.5 (-105) is the lean in this pivotal Game 4 despite the desperation of the Knicks. Quickley’s status for the Knicks looms large as he is one of their better shooters and it’s tough to bet against Butler at home in the postseason.

The Heat are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a win and 6-0 in their last 6 games overall.

Over/Under

OVER 206.5 (-110).

While the 1st 3 games of the series have been low-scoring affairs, there have been 207-plus points scored in 2 of the 3 games. And the Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Miami.

New York Knicks at Cleveland Cavaliers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s New York Knicks at Cleveland Cavaliers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The New York Knicks (44-33) will take on the Cleveland Cavaliers (48-29) Friday at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Knicks vs. Cavaliers odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

On Wednesday, the Knicks covered as 6-point home favorites in their 101-92 win over the Miami Heat. New York is 4 games behind Cleveland for the No. 4 seed in the Eastern Conference.

The Cavaliers lost 120-118 to the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday despite covering as 3-point road underdogs. Cleveland is only 2.5 games behind the Philadelphia 76ers for the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference.

This will be the 4th meeting between the Knicks and the Cavaliers this season. The home team has won the 1st 3 meetings (New York is 2-1) and the Over/Under is 1-2.

Knicks at Cavaliers picks and predictions

Prediction

Cavaliers 112, Knicks 104

Moneyline

AVOID.

The Cavaliers are expected to secure the victory on Friday, but taking their money line isn’t worth the risk at the current odds (-170).

Against the spread

With Randle sidelined for multiple weeks for the Knicks, CAVALIERS -3.5 (-118) is the pick in this potential 1st-round playoff preview. Even with Allen likely out for Cleveland, F Evan Mobley, G Donovan Mitchell, and G Darius Garland are enough to win by at least 4 points at home.

The Cavaliers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games playing on 2 days of rest and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 222.5 (-115).

With Randle out, the Knicks could struggle to generate enough offense to score on the Cavaliers, who are No. 1 in defensive rating. Both of these teams are also bottom 5 in pace as fewer than 222 points have been scored in 4 of the last 5 meetings.

The Knicks are 4-0 to the Under in their last 4 games overall, while the Cavaliers are 4-1 to the Under in their last 5 games playing on 2 days of rest.

New York Knicks at Orlando Magic odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s New York Knicks at Orlando Magic odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The New York Knicks (42-32) take on the Orlando Magic (30-43) Thursday at Amway Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Knicks vs. Magic odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Knicks lost 127-120 at the Miami Heat Wednesday as they failed to cover as 2-point road underdogs. New York is 2 games ahead of the Brooklyn Nets for the No. 5 seed in the Eastern Conference.

The Magic covered as 1.5-point favorites in their 122-112 victory over the Washington Wizards Tuesday. Orlando is 4.5 games back of the Chicago Bulls for the No. 10 seed in the Eastern Conference.

This will be the third meeting between the Knicks and the Magic this season. New York won and covered each of the first two meetings as the Under cashed in both.

Knicks at Magic picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 116, Magic 110

Moneyline

PASS.

Despite the Knicks (-170) playing on the 2nd leg of a back-to-back, they’re expected to come away with the win on Thursday. That being said, I’d only play New York’s moneyline if it improved to -150 or better.

Against the spread

KNICKS -3.5 (-110) is how I’d bet the spread with New York needing every win it can get to maintain a top 5 seed in the East. The Knicks have won 7 of the last 10 meetings and this isn’t a massive spread.

New York is 22-7-2 ATS in its last 31 games playing on 0 days of rest.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 228.5 (-105).

New York and Orlando are both in the bottom half of the league in pace this season, leading to fewer possessions. The Knicks are 8-2 to the Under in their last 10 road games against teams with a losing home record, and the Under is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings between these clubs.

The Celtics defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 110-107 to cover as 1-point road favorites on Saturday. Boston is on a 3-game winning streak and has the league’s best record.

The Knicks cruised as 4-point home favorites in their 128-108 win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday. New York has won 5 games in a row and 8 of its last 10 games.

This will be the 3rd meeting between Boston and New York. The road team won and covered the spread in the 1st 2 meetings and the Over connected in both matchups.

Celtics at Knicks picks and predictions

Prediction

Celtics 116, Knicks 112

Moneyline

Despite the Knicks playing some good basketball recently, I’m taking the CELTICS (-140) in this matchup. I wouldn’t play Boston’s moneyline at anything worse than -150 odds in this game.

The Celtics are 20-10 on the road this season while the Knicks are 17-15 at home.

Against the spread

CELTICS -2.5 (-115) is the lean despite Boston being without its 2nd-best player. The Celtics have shown they can win games without Brown as they own one of the most well-rounded rotations in the NBA led by F Jayson Tatum.

Boston is 7-1 ATS in its last 8 games overall and 5-2 ATS in its last 7 road meetings against New York.

Over/Under

OVER 223.5 (-108) is the pick here with both teams being in the top 6 in offensive rating this season. The Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in New York and 5-1 in the last 6 meetings overall.

AVOID.

Taking the 76ers (-220) straight up at the current odds isn’t worth the risk, especially with how they’ve been playing recently.

KNICKS +5.5 (-110) is the lean in this matchup despite the 76ers being 20-8 at home. New York is a league-best 18-9 ATS on the road this season.

The Knicks are also 3-1 ATS in their last 4 games overall.

Over/Under

UNDER 222.5 (-108) is how to play the total with how slow these teams play. The Knicks and 76ers are both bottom 6 in pace and top 15 in defensive rating.

Knicks at Magic picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 116, Magic 111

The KNICKS (-120) are the pick here following New York’s impressive win over a hot Philadelphia squad. New York is 15-11 on the road compared to Orlando being 13-13 at home this season.

Against the spread

KNICKS -1.5 (-110) is the lean here with me taking New York to secure the victory on the road. Even if Barrett is ruled out, the Knicks still have All-Star caliber players in G Jalen Brunson and F Julius Randle available.

The Knicks beat the Magic 115-102 at home on Oct. 24, covering the 7.5-point spread while 222.5 Under cashed.

Over/Under

Even though these teams are bottom 12 in pace, OVER 226.5 (-112) is the choice here. Both of these teams are in the bottom half of the league in defensive rating and the Knicks are 9th in offensive rating.

New York has gone Over in each of its last 4 road games. Meanwhile, Orlando has hit the Over in 5 of its last 6 home games.

Heat at Knicks picks and predictions

Prediction

Heat 110, Knicks 106

Moneyline

Following an impressive road win over the Cavaliers, I’m siding with the HEAT (-125) to secure another road victory. Miami has seemingly figured things out recently and New York has been struggling to win games.

Against the spread

HEAT -1.5 (-115) is how I’d bet on the spread in this game as we only need Miami to win by at least 1 basket. The Heat finally has C Bam Adebayo, F Jimmy Butler, G Kyle Lowry, and G Tyler Herro playing together again.

The Heat is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 road meetings against the Knicks and 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings overall.

Over/Under

Even though these teams play at such a slow pace, OVER 213.5 (-115) is the lean here.

The Knicks are 7-0-1 to the Over in their last 8 games against a team with a winning record. The Over is also 6-2 in the last 8 meetings between the Heat and the Knicks.

Lakers at Knicks picks and predictions

Prediction

Lakers 116, Knicks 112

Moneyline

Assuming that F LeBron James and F Anthony Davis are active after resting for Monday’s contest, LAKERS (+125) is an intriguing wager. I wouldn’t advise taking Los Angeles to win if either (or both) James and Davis are ruled out when the injury report is submitted.

Against the spread

LAKERS +3.5 (-115) is another bet to consider if James and Davis are active. The Knicks are 12-13 at home and we know players love to put on a show at Madison Square Garden.

The Lakers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games against a team with a losing home record and the Knicks are a dismal 9-14-2 ATS at home this season.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 230.5 (-110).

The Knicks play at the 4th-slowest pace in the NBA, so it’s a massive pace-down game for the Lakers.

The Lakers have gone Under in 5 of their last 6 games following a loss and the Knicks are 6-1 to the Under in their last 7 games playing on 2 days of rest.

Knicks at Wizards picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 117, Wizards 110

Moneyline

PASS on the moneyline in this game.

While I wouldn’t advise taking the Knicks (-190) straight up, I’m fine with including them in a parlay at the current odds.

Against the spread

KNICKS -4.5 (-110) feels like the correct choice in this game with Beal still sidelined for the Wizards. Meanwhile, New York is fully healthy with F RJ Barrett returning to action Wednesday.

The Knicks are 24-7 ATS in their last 31 road games and are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road meetings against Washington.

Over/Under

Even though both of these teams are in the bottom half of the league in pace, OVER 222.5 (-110) is how I’m betting on the total. With Barrett back and the Knicks being 10th in offensive rating, we just need a shorthanded Wizards team to help hit the Over.

The Knicks are 8-2 to the Over in their last 10 games playing on 1 day of rest and the Wizards have hit the Over in 5 of their last 6 games against a team with a winning record.
